BERBATOV'S UNITED CAREER IN JEOPARDY
Fergie forced to concede move hasn't worked out
DIMITAR BERBATOV'S Manchester United career is in jeopardy as the striker battles a crisis of confidence.
Even Sir Alex Ferguson, one of his greatest supporters, is losing faith with the £30million Bulgarian, who has struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford since joining from Tottenham 18 months ago.
Berbatov has become a target for United fans, which has led to him shrinking even further into his shell.
That has left huge doubts over his future at the club, with manager Ferguson struggling to understand why such a talented player cannot cope with the demands of United.
A source close to Ferguson said: "Berbatov is a real puzzle and a problem. He's so lacking in confidence that it's almost as if he's scared to go out and express himself.
"On the big occasions, somebody like Wayne Rooney grows in stature, but Berbatov hides away. He just seems to shrink.
"He should have everything it takes to succeed and Fergie certainly believed in him, but it's just not working out."
Ferguson will now consider cashing in on Berbatov in the summer to raise funds to make another move for Karim Benzema.
The French striker was a United target last summer but joined Real Madrid for £45m. But he has hardly figured at the Bernabeu.
