Valencia are ready to pounce on the uncertainty at Old Trafford with a £14m bid for Dimitar Berbatov. Despite being the clubs top goal scorer this season there are question marks over the Bulgarians future after it emerged that Sir Alex Ferguson’s favoured front two would be Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez.

PSG are also rumoured to be interested in Berbatov but they will now face a challenge from the Spanish giants as they look to improve on third place behind Real Madrid and Barcelona this coming season.

For Manchester United, the temptation to allow Berbatov to leave could be quite strong as they seek younger blood for Ferguson’s next generation of United players. The Old Trafford side have already made enquiries into the availability of Napoli’s Edinson Cavani and should a move materialise, Berbatov could well be on his way to either France or Spain.

   I thought CAVANI was priced at 100m Euros? He is so good it’s scary but I’m , sadly, sure that Utd can’t afford him. Just hope he doesn’t arrive at Eastlands or Stamford Bridge. I would rate him ahead of Sanchez and Pastore. By the way, the whole Italian league has only these 3 fellows. Guess what? None is an Italian.

   How can a club who don’t have the £8m required to buy Kevin Gameiro possibly afford to offer £14m for Berbatov? I hate lazy journalism, at any level.

   Berbatov is one of the most skilled players in the Premier League. It would be a shame to see him go from English football but even worse for United to lose him. Rooney and Hernandez will work until their play styles are figured out, and it will be a case of teaching an old dog new tricks. We need to keep ATLEAST another good striker because Owen doesnt fit the bill.
   Berbatov cannot leave.
