Berbatov thinks Man United need the ‘biggest rebuild in European football’
Dimitar Berbatov thinks that Manchester United have a huge rebuilding task ahead of them this summer.
After months of speculation, Erik ten Hag was recently announced as the new Manchester United manager and Berbatov thinks he’s walking into a tough job.
“He’s got a massive job on his hands and we’re looking at a rebuild, and probably the biggest rebuild in European football,” Berbatov told Betfair.
After suffering back-to-back defeats, Man United are now sixth in the table and six points away from a Champions League spot.
Erik ten Hag currently has Ajax at the top of the Eredivisie and Berbatov thinks Man United need to be patient with him next season.
“I hope that the club will give Ten Hag the time he needs, we can not judge him on next season, that will be too harsh and we cannot expect a miracle when the team has been in a poor position for so long now.

“It will be a miracle if things happen straight away next season. For me, United have to win the Premier League again, that is what will be considered a success for Ten Hag. That is the standard that United have to chase.”
Several players are out of contract at Old Trafford at the end of the season, including the likes of Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Edinson Cavani and Jesse Lingard.
With the way this season has unfolded for Man United, Berbatov doesn’t think that anybody has a guaranteed place in the squad
