Manchester United forward Dimitar Berbatov has failed to live up to the reputation he made for himself at Tottenham, according to the Red Devils' legendary striker Denis Law.   [LNB]The Bulgaria international has scored just 26 goals in two seasons and his performances have been widely criticised since his £30.75million move from White Hart Lane in August 2008.  [LNB] 'I don't want to knock him. He hasn't come up to the standard he set at Spurs, but when he was there he looked an extremely good player,' said the Scot, who scored 237 goals in 404 United appearances.  [LNB] [LNB] Struggle: Bulgarian Berbatov only managed 12 goals for United this season[LNB]'He's always had that laid-back style, even when he was at Tottenham, and that's what the fans admired him for but now he gets criticised for it.'[LNB]Law said he hoped Berbatov did not turn out to be another expensive misfit like £28million midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron, who joined from Lazio in 1999 but lasted just two years at Old Trafford.  [LNB]'He looked an excellent player with Argentina and in Italy, but when he came to United he didn't do it,' Law told the Manchester Evening News.  [LNB] 'He was a commanding player, yet when he came to United he wasn't.'[LNB] Wayne's worn out!
