Berba relishing Milan clash
Manchester United star Dimitar Berbatov has revealed how he grew up dreaming of playing for or against AC Milan. As a young boy in Bulgaria, he idolised Milan’s legendary Dutch striker Marco van Basten. "I've played against each big club in the world but never against Milan - I'm very excited,” revealed Bernbatov ahead of United’s last 16 Champions League clash with the Serie A giants on Tuesday. "I was a fan because Van Basten was there. I was a big admirer, he is one of the greatest forwards ever." The 29-year-old Berbatov expects a classic match against the Rossoneri. "It will be a great game. Some people say Milan are not in the best shape but I think that's deceiving. There's no favourite - it's 50-50. It's about who is the smartest, who can use the mistake of the other team and just score the winning goal."
