United smashed their transfer record to sign the 27-year-old, with the £30.75million deal finally being announced at 12.40am on Tuesday morning, 40 minutes after the transfer deadline expired and after Manchester City looked to hijack the deal.

"I don't play for the money," he told MUTV in an exclusive interview. "Those who know me; my really close friends, know that I play for enjoyment and to entertain the fans. If I want to play for the money, I will accept the Manchester City offer or Chelsea."

He added: "But the red shirt is a really big thing for me. I want to play for the biggest club in the world. That is why I am here."

Indeed, Berbatov feels so strongly about United that he is already talking about staying at Old Trafford for the remainder of his career.

Certainly, no matter how long the Bulgaria striker is around for, he expects to improve.

"I know I can develop here in the way I always wanted. That is the most important thing for me.

"I am 27 now. I am at the biggest club in the world and maybe this could be the last step in my career."
