Berbatov: We must remain United

10 April 2010 10:01
Manchester United forward Dimitar Berbatov reckons the spirit in the squad will be key as they try to recover from their Champions League exit.[LNB] Even though the Bulgarian was only on the field for the final 10 minutes of Wednesday night's encounter with Bayern Munich, he still felt the pain of United's quarter-final exit.[LNB]Like a number of his team-mates he spent a restless night, running through the game in his head, going over where it all went wrong for the Red Devils.[LNB]But he knows the only way to bounce back is to maintain group solidarity.[LNB]"It is difficult," he told MUTV. "You go home and sit, you rewind the game in your head, over and over again, thinking what you could have done better.[LNB]"This is the most difficult part. It is not the first time and it won't be the last, but it is always difficult.[LNB]"You need to lift yourself up but you can only do that with the help of your team-mates. That is how you go forward."[LNB]Berbatov's lack of action has been a major talking point, with many pundits believing it marks the death knell for his United career.[LNB]Sir Alex Ferguson has played down such conclusions, insisting he still trusts his £30.75million record signing.[LNB]And Berbatov believes he could have made more of an impact.[LNB]"It is difficult to get into a game when you only have 10 minutes," he said. "But sometimes you need less than that to change it.[LNB]"In this case it did not happen. We fought until the end but it just wasn't meant to be for us.[LNB]"There is nothing we can do now. Instead of looking back, let's look forward and see what is ahead of us."
