Bench-warmer Berba makes Fans' Team of the Year

Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov may struggle to make Sir Alex Ferguson’s starting line-up these days.

But the bench-warming Bulgarian – left out of United’s beaten Champions League Final squad – scored enough goals to convince the fans he was worth a place in their all-star side.

The Premier League’s joint top scorer hit 21 goals which played a key part in the title going to Old ­Trafford.

Berbatov was one of the surprise packages in our side along with West Brom’s Peter Odemwingie (below).

Sunderland fan Scott Bentley commented: “Odemwingie is the new hero of The ­Hawthorns. His 15 goals this season have rocketed the Russian-born ­Nigerian striker towards the top end of the scoring charts and made West Brom safe.

“Albion got real value for money from a striker snapped up for a ­reported £1million. He is definitely one of this season’s success stories.”
