Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has admitted that he may well have to leave Old Trafford this summer due to a lack of first-team opportunities.

Sir Alex Ferguson preferred to use Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez ahead of the Bulgarian last term, who scored nine goals in 21 appearances.

With a summer exit likely, Berbatov has confessed that he may be heading elsewhere.

“Because I am tired of speculation, I am telling you this. I read the papers and I see they say £10 million is my price,” he stated on his Facebook page.

“I go and talk with Sir Alex, and he says to me £5 million. So who is telling the truth, what do you think?

“And the truth is, I love this club, but I am not going to be useful to anyone, if I am not playing.

“And I want to play, I want to help. But for unknown reasons it’s not going to happen, or my chances will be limited, so it’s better for everyone if we say goodbye.

“If not, I am professional and I will keep doing everything I can, to help my team and my team-mates, whenever I have opportunity to do so,” he concluded.
