Manchester United have opened initial talks over a contract extension for Dimitar Berbatov. The 30-year-old Bulgarian was dropped from United’s starting line-up for the derby victory over Manchester City on Saturday but his agent Emil Danchev flew into Manchester over the weekend for talks with chief executive David Gill.
The 20-goal striker has 18 months left on his current contract worth around £100,000 a week and United are happy to extend the deal. However, they are unlikely to put a massive pay increase on the table, despite Wayne Rooney’s recent pay hike, due to Berbatov’s age.
