Dimitar Berbatov: Man Utd icon's incredible 2010/11 season remembered

Dimitar Berbatov has just turned 41 years of age, but only officially retired just three years ago.

Manchester United have had some legendary strikers among their ranks down the years. With the likes of Wayne Rooney, Andy Cole, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Eric Cantona all having previously been on the books at the club, the fans have truly been spoiled when it comes to forwards.

And perhaps that partly explains why Berbatov's time at United appears to go somewhat under the radar when it comes to younger fans.
