Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has expressed optimism that the club’s new signing, Matthijs de Ligt, could help Manchester United win the Premier League this season. Berbatov highlighted De Ligt’s impressive track record, noting that every team he has joined in the past has gone on to become champions.
Berbatov pointed out that De Ligt’s previous clubs—Ajax, Juventus, and Bayern Munich—each achieved league success during his time with them. He hopes this pattern continues at Manchester United, attributing it to what he described as “good karma.”
However, Berbatov also voiced a concern regarding De Ligt’s fitness. He acknowledged that staying injury-free is crucial for De Ligt’s impact on United’s defense. Given that manager Erik ten Hag previously worked with De Ligt at Ajax, Berbatov believes that Ten Hag’s familiarity with the player will be beneficial.
Berbatov’s comments reflect a hopeful view that De Ligt’s presence could be a key factor in Manchester United’s pursuit of domestic and possibly European success.
