Dimitar Berbatov was known for his elegant and languid attacking play, but the Bulgarian striker has revealed he often spent training sessions battling in defence.
Accompanying Manchester United’s Under-16s side on their annual trip to the Hong Kong Jockey Club in summer, Berbatov participated in a wide-ranging Q&A with the young players.
One of his most interesting answers features in the latest instalment from MUTV’s popular Lifeblood series. The newest short film, ‘U16s in Hong Kong’, provides a unique look on the trip, with vlogs from the young Reds, POV shots showing what it’s like to train as a budding United player and insights into exactly why the Academy takes these kids on such an extraordinary journey.
