Manchester: Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has revealed he is happy and loves representing the club.
Despite finishing as last season's joint-top Premier League scorer, Berbatov has struggled to get playing time and has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford.
However, the 30-year-old stressed he and his family are content with life in Manchester and that he fails to find a fault with the local cuisine and weather.
"I'm happy here," Berbatov told MUTV. "My family is together in Manchester. I hear people complain about the weather, there's nothing to do, and the food."
"But, for me, it's not like that. I play for a club I love, the biggest club, and everything else doesn't matter."
The Bulgarian also touched on the first time he learned that the Red Devils were interested in signing him through his agent Emil Danchev.
He added: "He called me to say we have interest from Manchester United. I said, 'Don't joke with me,' but he said he was serious."
"So I was speechless. When the biggest club contacts you, it's a big deal for me coming from a small country like Bulgaria."
Shortly before joining Alex Ferguson’s side on transfer deadline day three years ago, Manchester City reportedly lodged an offer for his signature, and Berbatov explained why he snubbed the blue half of Manchester.
"My mind was always set on joining Manchester United," he said.
"How can you not go to United? I don't play for money. I play for glory and winning championships."
