Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov is confident the goals needed to win the Premier League title will come.

Berbatov scored the winner in Monday's 1-0 success over Middlesbrough at Old Trafford, but afterwards the Red Devils came in for criticism from manager Sir Alex Ferguson for wasting a hatful of chances.

United remain in the thick of the title hunt despite scoring just four goals in their last six league games and Berbatov - a £30million summer acquisition made to supplement and already potent attack - believes there is no need to panic.

"We are having a lot of 1-0 wins but sometimes it is because we are missing a lot of chances," said the striker, who has scored just three times in the league since joining United.

"You lose your concentration sometimes and the teams we are facing are defending very well. Middlesbrough were very good on Monday night.

"It would be nice to get a second or third goal but 1-0 is enough. You still get the three points.

"We are not really worried about it, but maybe we must work on our concentration in the final third of the field.

"The boss tells us all the time not to lose our concentration because it will be very important in the crucial games coming up.

"So we will keep working on that and as long as we keep making chances, hopefully the goals will come."
