Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs is confident that new £30million signing Dimitar Berbatov will prove to be a big hit at Old Trafford.

The 27-year-old Bulgaria striker joined the Red Devils just minutes before the transfer window slammed shut, having pressed for a move away from Tottenham Hotspur for much of the summer.

Berbatov scored 46 goals in two seasons at White Hart Lane and Giggs has no concerns that he will continue to impress with United.

He said: "Berbatov is a Manchester United-type player.

"He has that physique and stature because he is over six foot, so he offers something a little bit different to Wayne Rooney or Carlos Tevez.

"For a big man he has a superb touch, But he also has a big personality, the personality you need to be a success at Manchester United.

"I am glad Dimitar is on the same side as me. I have seen his ability at first hand when he played against us for Tottenham.

"I am sure he will be an excellent signing."
