FIT-AGAIN Dimitar Berbatov is targeting Bulgaria's goal-scoring record in Wednesday's friendly against Malta. The striker missed United's matches against CSKA Moscow and Chelsea after suffering a knee injury in the 2-1 win over Blackburn Rovers earlier this month. 'I received a kick in my knee during the Blackburn match and I needed some rest and some treatment but I'm OK now and I'll play in Malta,' said Berbatov. The 28-year-old scored a hat-trick in Bulgaria's 6-2 win over Georgia in a World Cup qualifier last month to take his tally to 46 international goals, one short of Hristo Bonev's record. 'I'm thinking about it [the record], of course. I've scored many goals so far and I hope that with the help of my team-mates I'll do it,' Berbatov added.
