Which United shirt is Dimitar Berbatov's favourite?
Dimitar Berbatov wore some great shirts during his four-year spell at Manchester United, with some forever associated with the success we enjoyed in them.
The Bulgarian forward played for the Reds between 2008 and 2012, and recently featured in BT Sport’s ‘What I Wore’ series, which takes footballers through a showcase of iconic shirts from their past.
Alongside his United kits, several other clubs were on display during the walkthrough of his career, including the likes of Bayer Leverkusen, Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid and Monaco.
As he progressed through the teams he played for, Berbatov reached our 2007-09 home shirt. This was the first United kit our former no.9 wore for the club, having signed from Tottenham in 2008.
