Bulgarian star striker Dimitar Berbatov was given one of the lowest ratings of the Manchester United team after Sunday’s FA Cup shock loss to League One side Leeds.

Berbatov was lambasted in the UK press following the game and was given a low 4 rating by the UK Sun newspaper.

ESPN Sports and the Manchester Evening News were slightly kinder on the Bulgarian star giving him an average 5 rating.

Meanwhile Manager Sir Alex Ferguson did not hold back in criticising his players as Manchester United were dumped out in one of the biggest cup upsets ever in the UK.

Ferguson said Leeds had deserved the victory as their rivals won 1-0 at Old Trafford. "I didn't expect that performance, it was shocking. I've no complaints about the result," he added, cited by the BBC.
