Dimitar Berbatov must have enjoyed his UEFA Champions League start for Manchester United by scoring 2 goals against Danish side, but his return to the Champions League competition has been marred by an outspoken attack from former England, Leeds United and Tottenham manager Terry Venables.

Berbatov is likely to start for Manchester United, with Alex Ferguson wary of the battling Danish opposition, who really gave the Scottish champions Glasgow Celtic a tough time in the first round of matches in the group stage. Everyone was expecting Manchester United to dominate in the game and they showed and delivered exactly that. Dimitar Berbatov combined with Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo to a well deserved away victory in Europe.

United’s this summer high profile signing Dimitar Berbatov was harshly criticized by Terry Venables in the British media. In a show of anger, Venables has accused the Bulgarian international of destroying the Tottenham Hotspur team morale, of being ungrateful, egoistic and an opportunist.

Berbatov’s “dream” to move to United had a “poisonous” effect on everyone at White Hart Lane. His reluctance and arrogance towards his former team-mates at Tottenham whilst still at the club, had a devastating impact on the club and is a major factor for the dreadful start of the season for Spurs.

Venables further added that Tottenham’s biggest blunder was letting Robbie Keane go, after Berbatov had Betrayed the club without having assured the services of Russian Andrei Arshavin.
