Man Utd snubbed Dimitar Berbatov return

Manchester United are understood to have rejected the chance to sign former striker Dimitar Berbatov in the summer transfer window.

The 34-year-old was a free-agent during the summer, and was keen on a move to the Premier League.

However, he failed to earn his desired switch, and opted to join Greek giants PAOK on a one-year contract.

The Express now understands that United boss Louis van Gaal opted against a move for the Bulgarian star as he was more keen on bringing Anthony Martial to Old Trafford.

Martial has proved to be a huge success at the Mancunian giants having notched three goals in his opening two league games for the club.
