Manchester United favourite Dimitar Berbatov has urged the Red Devils’ hierarchy to listen to Jose Mourinho’s transfer demands at the turn of the year. The Mancunian giants have made an uncharacteristic start to the season with just 20 points from their opening 12 matches and the run already sees them 12 points behind table-toppers Manchester City.
Manchester United favourite Nicky Butt has said that there has been a genuine power shift between the Manchester clubs over the past few years and his former side have a challenge on their hands to reclaim their dominancy over their cross-town rivals.

A recent report from Germany highlighted that the Portuguese is one of the leading candidates to become the next United boss, should Jose Mourinho be released from the helm.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has hailed the team’s attitude on Monday night despite them suffering a 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. The loss was the second straight one for the Red Devils in the Premier League and this sees them in the bottom half of the standings after three matches.
Cristiano Ronaldo is fully expected to take Serie A by storm after leaving Real Madrid for Juventus and bookmakers believe Italian football defences will struggle to contain him just as their Spanish counterparts in La Liga did.
