Fergie Drops Berba PSG Hint

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has indicated that Dimitar Berbatov could join Paris St Germain.

Following a Man Utd XI defeat to Marseille on Tuesday, Ferguson was quizzed by reporters on French television station Direct 8.

When asked if PSG fans could expect to see the Bulgarian striker turn out for their side next season, Ferguson abruptly replied "Yes" before moving on.

Despite finishing as the club's top scorer last season, Berbatov's United career has been in doubt since his omission from the UEFA Champions League final defeat to Barcelona in May.

With Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez expected to be Ferguson's first-choice pairing this season, Berbatov could be tempted by a move to French football.

Capital club PSG have new-found wealth through owners Qatar Investment Authority and are believed to be prepared to meet Berbatov's demands to make him their marquee signing.

However, Berbatov revealed last month he was planning to stay at United as the 'only way is down' for a player once they head out of Old Trafford.

His agent later confirmed the Bulgarian would see out the final year of his contract and it remains to be seen whether Ferguson seriously expects him to go to PSG.
