Berbatov has had enough. Of playing for Bulgaria that is.
He has played 74 times for the national side and is their all-time leading goal-scorer but feels that now is the time to stop. He said that playing for Bulgaria has left him "exhausted", and he feels that now he is gone, younger Bulgarians can emerge from his shadow.
On his club football with Manchester United, he said that he will "fight" for his place in the side and has rubbished suggestions that he will leave.
Berbatov is someone of supreme touch and skill, and you really want him to do well and prove his critics wrong. However, most of the time he has a bad or unlucky day. With Manchester United needing silverware, I think he will have t "fight" a lot harder for his place, as a new striker will probably be coming in soon to challenge him at Manchester United.
