Top runner Usain Bolt has become the newest critic of Manchester United’s Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov.
The Olympic champion, who is a fan of Manchester United, has slammed Berbatov for his performance, as quoted by the UK tabloid The Sun.
Bolt says he would prefer to see United play with two strikers, and praises Wayne Rooney. However, he is not happy with the Bulgarian star.
"The problem is who the other striker should be because Dimitar Berbatov hasn't done it. We need him to step up. We were looking for big things from him but he has been disappointing,” Bolt said regarding Berbatov.
Even since he became the most expensive purchase in the history of Manchester United (GBP 30 M), Berbatov has been the target of criticism over his uneven performance.
