Only The Sun could bring us an ex-Arsenal legend sticking his oar in over the Berbatov to Man Utd saga, claiming that the Spurs striker could be the new Cantona if he joined the Old Trafford outfit.
Yep, that’s right CaughtOffsiders, Ian Wright reckons that Berba could be the new Cantona and even claims that he has a touch of Bergkamp about him. Hmmmm…
Where there is hope, at least there is Dimitar Berbatov.
The moody Bulgarian is bang on Alex Ferguson’s radar and I reckon he is the Eric Cantona clone the United faithful have been praying for.
The languid style. The look of not being interested — before turning on the stunning skill. The pure class.
Cantona had bucketloads of it and so does Berba. He’s just got the vibe, if you know what I mean.
There is a bit of Dennis Bergkamp about him, too but the Cantona comparison is spot on. (The Sun)
So will Berba be a success at Utd and one day sit alongside Eric Cantona in fans’ hearts?
