Dimitar Berbatov is desperate to join Manchester United, according to his brother.
The Tottenham striker has allegedly 'outgrown' the Londoners as he looks for a January switch from White Hart Lane.
The striker's brother, Asen, declared: "In my opinion, Tottenham are OK. In Manchester, though, things will be better — much better.
"If United really want him, maybe he should go. I think it is his time to go. There is nothing more to do at Spurs.
"Dimitar is under-performing. He is feeling very good physically. But as regards everything else, it is a big disappointment — especially with the team dropping in the league.
"He doesn't feel very good emotionally. This is the reason that the games are not going well. My brother is like this. When the team has bad form, he goes into standby mode.
And the striker himself in the Mail:
"I just want to say that I am here, I am happy here and I will help the club in any way I can," he added, before stating his gratitude for the ongoing support the fans have given him since his arrival from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2006.
"The fans love the club and they have been behind me ever since my first game. I appreciate them the most and I want to tell them that I am not going anywhere.
"I have a contract and I will give my best, for now it is not going so well for me because all the writing in the papers has been messing with my head and I lost my concentration.
"I don't want to see my name in the papers anymore - I just want to play football and enjoy myself. When I see things in the paper with somebody telling lies about my father, how can I be calm?
"I am disappointed and I don't understand how somebody can write something like that - it is a lie.
"Bringing my family into it is the biggest sin."
