United striker insists talk of January exit was 'speculation'

Dimitar Berbatov has admitted that he is 'not happy' at his lack of action with Manchester United, but expects to stay at Old Trafford beyond the summer. The 31-year-old, who has slipped down the pecking order after finishing as top scorer last term, was linked with a move away from the Red Devils in the January transfer window but no deal emerged. It is now expected that the club will activate a one-year extension to his contract - a clause written into his deal when he signed for United from Tottenham in 2008. Berbatov has started just five of United's 24 Premier League matches this season and was famously left out of the matchday squad for last season's UEFA Champions League final. "I am a Manchester United player, but I do not currently play in as many games as I want," he told Bulgarian sports website sportal.bg.

Manager

"I'm not happy that I do not play. But I cannot blame anyone, especially in the media. "When I have something to say, I go and talk face to face with the manager. He decides everything." Speaking about his future at United, Berbatov added: "There was nothing concrete as an offer to me. I read about such things, but they are more speculation. "I do not know how long I will stay at Manchester United. "To my knowledge, the clause to extend my contract for another year is automatically activated in March. I know nothing more."
