Ole hails Berba arrival
by Alex Livie, 06 September 2008
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hailed Manchester United’s capture of Dimitar Berbatov, with the Old Trafford legend claiming he has been a fan of the Bulgarian for some time.
One of the most drawn-out transfer sagas of the summer went to the wire, as United wrapped up the deal to bring Berbatov to the club in the final hour of the transfer window.
Sir Alex Ferguson made the Bulgarian his number one striking target and Solskjaer feels the Scot has got the right man.
"The saga lasted all summer but we were always confident we'd found the right one,” Solskjaer told MUTV.
"I think he's the right one. His performances for Spurs have been great. I knew he was a good player when he played against us for Bayer Leverkusen.
"We're delighted we've got him."
Berbatov has demonstrated sigs of temperament during his career, but Solskjaer feels Ferguson has a knack of keeping players happy.
The Norwegian added: "I've often wondered how he's done it, with all the internationals he's had.
"But he's always rotated people and I'm sure we'll see great performances from the front four again."
