'P***** me off' - Dimitar Berbatov makes shocking Manchester United revelation

Former Manchester United forward Dimitar Berbatov has revealed who the best and worst trainers were during his time at Old Trafford.

The Bulgarian enjoyed a successful spell in Manchester, winning the Premier League twice and the 2011 Golden Boot. He featured alongside the likes of Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Scholes during his time under Sir Alex Ferguson.

However, none of the aforementioned players were mentioned when Berbatov was asked to name the best and worst trainers from his time at United.

"Purely on training and wanting to produce every session and working hard, I must say Gary Neville [was the best trainer]," he said, speaking on behalf of Betfair. "He used to train really hard every single session.

“He had great professionalism and he always wanted to still show that he was better than the other players around him. Even at that age when I was there, he was still showing the young lads that he was better than them.

"The worst trainer… I must say, Anderson. Although he had a lot of quality and talent and was really good on his day, at training sessions, he really p****d me off sometimes.

During his playing days, Berbatov was renowned for his laid back approach to the beautiful game. But he admitted: "Like, I maybe used to p*** some players off, Anderson used to p*** me off."
