The languid centre-forward believes there is no time for the club to rest on their laurels, as they continue their assault on an unprecedented four fronts...The recent centre-stage at Old Trafford has been reserved for the record breaking rearguard (Edwin van der Sar et al), the cultured veterans (Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes), and the burgeoning playmaking talents of Michael Carrick.
However, the contributions of supporting cast-member Dimitar Berbatov is still something to be admired as he has netted on 12 occasions in all competitions as well as creating a notable amount of assists.
The last of the silky Bulgarian's goals arrived during the impressive 3-0 win over visiting Fulham on Wednesday evening, but during the aftermath of the match, the nonchalent forward warned his Manchester United team-mates of complacency, and believes they will have to stay sharp to maintain their lofty league position.
"This win was very important to us, that’s what the boss told us before the game," he told MUTV. "We maybe should have scored two or three more but in the end everybody was happy.
"We are pleased that we won and are now five points clear, but we have many games to play and it’s not the end of the title race."
Paul Scholes scored a well-struck volley against the Cottagers, and Berbatov had high praise for the retired England international.
"I don’t think there is anybody else in the world like Paul Scholes. He is the only person who can shoot with that accuracy.
"His passing and the way he changes games is brilliant. Every manager would be happy to have him but it’s our luck that he plays for us," he concluded.
The win over Fulham ensured that United moved five points clear over second-placed Liverpool.
