Berbatov has been backed to make a major impact at United by new team-mate Ryan Giggs.

The Welshman believes that Berbatov can inspire United in the same way that Eric Cantona did over a decade ago.

"He plays in a very similar position to Eric, and he has a similar physique," Giggs said in the Daily Star.

"And I don't think he'll be intimidated by the price tag or by coming to United."

Giggs is convinced that Berbatov has the right attitude to cope with the pressure of playing for United.

He said: "Manchester United centre forwards, or creative players, have to have that sort of mentality - the type who thinks if he does miss a chance, he'll put the next one away."
