Berbatov vows to improve
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Dimitar Berbatov has pledged to prove his worth to Manchester United with Sir Alex Ferguson ready to make the striker his 'focal point'.[LNB] The Bulgaria international has failed to justify his £30.75million transfer fee, only showing his undoubted talent in brief flashes throughout last season.[LNB]Many Old Trafford supporters are still to be convinced by the former Tottenham and Bayer Leverkusen ace, but Berbatov insists he is ready to put last season's struggles behind him. [LNB]"I think this year will be different for me," he told the Daily Mirror. "I've had a pre-season tour with the team, which I missed last year.[LNB]"And I really know how every player in the team plays now, so I can understand them better on the pitch.[LNB]"Plus, Sir Alex knows the best way he can use me. We have many games and I'm looking forward to each one so I can score goals and make my contribution to the team."[LNB]Something to proveRed Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted that Berbatov suffered at times last season due to the role he was given within the team.[LNB]The Scot expects the big-money signing to flourish in the role he has been handed this term and believes that will help him regain some lost confidence.[LNB]"He probably has something to prove in the sense of his own thoughts about his first year with us," said Ferguson.[LNB]"It's difficult to say if his confidence took a knock, but there aren't many players, especially strikers, who aren't at the mercy of their confidence.[LNB]"We were a bit unfair to Dimitar last season but we know how to use him this time. He won't be playing in deep midfield positions where he found himself a lot last year.[LNB]"He's got to be in the last third, where he is a threat. We saw him like that, playing deep, at Tottenham and maybe we were wrong there.[LNB]"Once we realised, before the end of the season, he started playing further up the pitch. I think Dimitar will be the focal point of our team this year."[LNB]
