Berba backs United for four

Manchester United will hold off Chelsea and win a fourth consecutive EPL title, claims the club’s record signing Dimitar Berbatov. "It will be difficult because there are a lot of games left but it will be decided between us and Chelsea,” said the Bulgarian on Wednesday. "In the end, we will be on top because we have great players.” The Bulgarian singled out Wayne Rooney for special praise. “If Wayne can play 100 per cent, like he does in training, then nobody can stop him. He is fantastic and is still young and the future is ahead of him." Berbatov has been struggling with a knee injury in recent months and has been below his best. He has been putting off having an operation which will rule him out for three months. Despite this he scored in United’s recent 3-1 win over Hull, his first goal in two months.
