I do care, honest! - United striker Berbatov insists laid back looks can be deceiving

Dimitar Berbatov has rejected the accusation that he is too laid back to care whether Manchester United beat Barcelona in Wednesday's Champions League final. The Bulgarian has only been a qualified success since arriving at Old Trafford from Tottenham for a club record £30.75million. Moments of pure genius have been mixed with periods of perceived inactivity as Berbatov adjusted to his new surroundings. Sir Alex Ferguson has certainly never questioned the 28-year-old's commitment. However, plenty have taken his phlegmatic demeanour as a sign Berbatov lacks the application normally associated with United stars. Yet he insists that perception is wide of the mark. 'I know people sometimes think I don't care. Trust me. I do,' he said.
