Having been without a club since leaving Indian Super League side Kerala Blasters last year, the former Tottenham Hotspur star announced his retirement last week, and it seems he had taken up the role of a Red Devils scout a while ago.
The 38-year-old spent two years with Spurs after arriving from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2006, scoring 46 goals in 102 appearances and helping them win the Football League Cup.
While Berbatov is a Tottenham cult hero, it was at Old Trafford that he really announced himself to the world, scoring 56 times in 149 games and winning two Premier League titles with them.
