This source claim it’s a distinct possibility, but before any United fan starts to feel gutted that they may have missed out on the talented Bulgarian, the newspaper in question has been known to get it wrong on several occasions. In the space of a few hours.

Nevertheless, The Sun have invented a story report that Bayern Munich could be about to land Dimitar Berbatov, thus ending his White Hart Lane misery and providing a sting in the tail to a story which has rumbled on for some time.

BAYERN MUNICH are ready to end Dimitar Berbatov’s Tottenham misery.

Reports in Germany suggest the Bundesliga giants will pip Manchester United to the Bulgarian striker’s signature before the transfer window closes.

The striker knows the Bundesliga inside out, having spent several seasons at Bayer Leverkusen before joining Tottenham two years ago. Could it be that Berba has given up on ‘following his dream’ and playing for Manchester United, and will instead jump on the next flight to Munchen to play for the German champions. Spurs fans, surely you’d prefer to see the sullen one leave the country rather than play for the Red Devils?
