Dimitar Berbatov gives Man Utd vs Man City prediction and insists 'let's not be blinded'

Dimitar Berbatov has issued an ominous warning to his former club ahead of Sunday's Manchester derby.

Following a troubled start to the season in both the Premier League and Champions League, Manchester United scraped to a much-needed win against Copenhagen in midweek, with Andre Onana saving a late penalty. However, the 1-0 win failed to paper over the cracks in Erik ten Hag's side, according to former United forward Dimitar Berbatov, who knows any frailty will be ruthlessly exposed by Pep Guardiola's Treble winners.

The Bulgarian told Betfair: "Let's not be blinded by the three points and let's not pretend we didn't see some cracks in the team. Copenhagen were easily able to create goal-scoring opportunities. They didn't score due to Onana and the inexperience of the Copenhagen players. That's why it was 0-0 for most of the game.

"This lack of communication, positioning, reading of the game, it needs to be addressed. Yes, it was 1-0 and three points, but I hope everybody will pay attention to the mistakes that were made in the game and correct them immediately."

Berbatov, who spent four years at Old Trafford, winning the Premier League and Championships, fears his former club will "suffer" if they don't improve on their midweek display.

Amazon "Based on what City have achieved so far and how they're still performing at a high level this season, I don't think you can have the slightest thought of underestimating them in any way possible.

"You need to get that thought out of your mind. Even if they are losing or not playing the way people expect to play, they still have so much quality in the team that the quality can compensate for a bad performance and get you the three points.

"They are title challengers, they are Champions League challengers, they challenge for everything. The experience with their manager knowing when to play the right players during the season, and who rests when, it's unbelievable and that is how you win trophies. This is what good managers do."
