Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has weighed in on his former team’s upcoming Premier League clash against West Ham United. After a thrilling 4-3 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Red Devils are gearing up to face the Hammers at Old Trafford on Sunday, February 4.
With West Ham sitting one spot above United in the league standings and just one point ahead, the match holds significant importance for both sides. Berbatov emphasized the need for United to stay focused amidst off-field distractions in order to secure a crucial victory. Predicting a 3-1 win for his former club, Berbatov wrote for Metro:
“David Moyes will be returning to Old Trafford, where his tenure didn’t end on the best note. However, his achievements with West Ham since then speak for themselves, with a trophy and a strong push for European qualification.
Meanwhile, United must focus on getting results, particularly at home where they’ve suffered too many setbacks. It’s imperative for them to shift their attention away from off-field matters, and I believe they can secure a win on home turf.”
With Erik ten Hag’s side eager to build momentum following their recent triumph over Wolves, they’ll be looking to climb further up the table and challenge for a top-four finish as the season progresses.
