The chief executive of Manchester United, David Gill assured the club does not plan to sell Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov over the summer. Gill said in an interview for the British “The Independent” that keeping Berbatov, who had been the subject of many transfer speculations, is also the personal desire of the Manchester United Manager, Sir Alex Ferguson.
Gill's expectation of the summer was that "some will leave, some will come in" and "there won't be any major players leaving". Whether the definition of "major" includes the out-of-favor Michael Carrick or Luis Anderson can be debated but Gill does not envisage the club selling Berbatov, who has not fulfilled the expectations of him when he joined from Tottenham, The Independent writes.
"He (Berbatov) has three years left on his contract. It is two years plus an option for us. We spent a lot of money on him. We have no real desire to sell him. He will be there next season and Alex has been clear on that. He gets a bit of a difficult press in some respects," Gill is quoted saying.
