Berbatov for Bayer

Wednesday, 28/12/2011

Dimitar Berbatov is wanted back at Bayer Leverkusen.

The Manchester United striker's representatives have been in touch with the Germans about a possible return.

Berbatov, 30, was with Bayer for five years until 2006 when he joined Tottenham in a £10m deal.

The former Bulgaria captain moved to Manchester United for £30m two years later but has recently become a fringe player at Old Trafford despite winning last season's Premier League Golden Boot.

His contract runs out next summer although United do have a 12-month option to renew.

Berbatov returned to action recently and scored his 50th goal for the Red Devils. On Boxing Day he hit a hat-trick as United beat Wigan 5-0 at Old Trafford.
