Ferguson: Berbatov was not a failure

Sir Alex Ferguson is adamant Dimitar Berbatov should not be regarded as a £30million failure at Manchester United.

Berbatov will return to Old Trafford on Saturday for the first time since his four-year United stay came to an end with a summer switch to Fulham.

Debate still rages amongst the Red Devils faithful about the Bulgarian's merits. But Ferguson said: "I don't think Dimitar was a failure here."
