He's is a fine player but when it comes to strength, i doubt. The red jersey has been big on him but with time he's going to fit perfectly. He just needs to concentrate.

I think he would've happily joined Man U without being paid so much. I'm looking forward to seeing how berbatov develops by the end of the season.
