Dimitar Berbatov's agent has stated that his client will remain with Manchester United next season. There had been some suggestions that the Bulgaria international could leave Old Trafford this summer following an indifferent debut season with The Red Devils. The £30.75m capture mustered just nine Premier League goals for the champions despite making 29 league starts, prompting talk in some quarters the club may part with the former Spurs ace. However, Berbatov's agent Emil Dantchev has poured cold water on the speculation, stating the club's management is happy for the talented hit-man to stay. "Despite speculation that he may leave, I want to declare that Dimitar will play next season in Manchester United," Dantchev told Dnevnik. "There is no desire from the management for any separation. "He will stay and we hope that he will win what he missed out on this year."
