The injury that Manchester United‘s Bulgarian  forward Dimitar Berbatov picked up during his team’s unfortunate game against Crystal Palace on Wednesday is not as grave as initially believed, Sir Alex Ferguson has announced.

“Berbatov’s injury isn’t serious,” Ferguson  has said, as cited by the Red Devils’ official website.

“He got injured the week before. We’ve been getting a few injuries but it happens. At the moment, we’re going through a spell where we’re getting a few a week but we have to get on with it.”

Berbatov is to miss this weekend’s match at Aston Villa due to the ankle injury he sustained against the Eagles, but he is not expected to be away for a longer period.

The Bulgarian striker still struggles to find his way back into Manchester United‘s starting 11, as he faces tough competition from the likes of Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez.

Manchester United have not offered their Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov a new contract, according to Berbatov’s agent Emil Danchev.

United have not even indicated that they might consider offering Berba an extention of his contract, which expires in one year, Danchev told gold.com, casting an even greater shadow over Berbatov’s future in the top English Premiership team.

Berbatov’s agent has further admitted that the star striker’s future remains undecided, and that he is not in contact with Manchester United‘s executive director David Gill, and manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

“We will know more after we have talks with United but Berbatov wants to stay and to keep winning tropheys,” Danchev said.

He revealed that Tottenham Spurs, Bayern Munich, and a number of teams from Spain, France, and Turkey are interested in getting Berbatov.
