Manchester United forward Dimitar Berbatov may establish a youth training academy in his home country once his football career is over.

At the end of 2008, Berbatov established a foundation in Bulgaria with the goal of helping talented children and youngsters realize their potential.

"I will probably go home [to Bulgaria]. I'd like to work with kids so maybe set up a football academy and if someone gave me a role in a movie perhaps I would take it!" Berbatov said, answering a question from a United Review reader.

Berbatov also revealed that his favorite goal for the team is his overhead kick against Liverpool last season, although he might change it to the third goal he scored in that game.

On Sunday, the striker's agent Emil Danchev revealed that his client will leave Old Trafford at the end of this season.

"Dimitar will be able to look for a new team during the summer and United's management assured us that they will not obstruct us in that," Danchev told Kanal 3, hinting that Berbatov may choose a team outside England's Premier League.
