Fergie hits back at Berbatov's critics: Dimitar has been a big hit for us
Sir Alex Ferguson has leapt to the defence of Dimitar Berbatov - claiming the Bulgarian has made a huge impact at Manchester United.
The former Tottenham forward has struggled to shine at Old Trafford after completing his £30million switch in August. Fans have questioned his work-rate and are also concerned at his scoring rate.
But Ferguson believes Berbatov is a key part of his Quintuple-chasing side - and went on to compare the star to Eric Cantona and Teddy Sheringham.
