United new boy Berbatov to show he has the golden touch

Dimitar Berbatov goes into his debut vowing to prove he's the best in Europe.

The striker, who faces tomorrow following his controversial £30.75million move from Tottenham, has his sights on claiming the Ballon D'Or, awarded to the European Footballer of the Year.

The Bulgarian said: 'I will dream about winning the Golden Ball until I stop playing. When I set myself a target, I aim to reach it. With God's will, I'll achieve something big.'

Ryan Giggs has no doubt his new team-mate will be a big hit at Old Trafford.

"Berbatov is a Manchester United-type player," said the former Wales skipper. "For a big man he has a superb touch. But he also has a big personality."
