'It was like we were sleeping together!' - Berbatov reveals favourite strike partner

The former Manchester United striker reveals a surprising name as his greatest strike partner, an unheralded name who he barely spoke to off the pitch

Dimitar Berbatov may have lined up alongside Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez at Manchester United - and Robbie Keane at Tottenham - but none of those Premier League legends make the cut as his favourite striker partner.

The Bulgarian hitman came to the English game after a successful five-year spell at Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen, where he notably reached the 2002 Champions League final only to be defeated by a Zinedine Zidane-inspired Real Madrid side.
