Early knee op for United star

Manchester United fear their record signing Dimitar Berbatov may need knee surgery before the end of the season. The £32m Bulgarian has struggled in recent weeks, and despite scoring in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Burnley he was substituted in the second-half after feeling pain in his knee. "Dimitar was feeling his knee again," admitted Fergie after the game. "He played through it today but he could have come off at half-time. We will have to look at it again on Monday and see what the situation is." Wayne Rooney and Mame Biram Diouf also got on the scoresheet at Old Trafford, a result that leaves the Red Devils one point behind leaders Chelsea. The Blues however, have played a game less than the fierce rivals.
