Berbatov on his way to United

WANTED ... Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov
ALEX FERGUSON aims to land Dimitar Berbatov in a £25million deal by the end of next week. The Manchester United boss has had a £22m bid rejected with Tottenham wanting £30m.
United will go to £25m and believe that will be enough to secure the unsettled striker. Ferguson said: “We are looking at some options at the moment — three or four different options about the strike department which we hope will come to a happy conclusion. “Hopefully we will have someone in for the start of the season.”
Tottenham have been playing hardball with United, even reporting them to the Premier League for their pursuit of the striker. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy accused Ferguson of arrogance and hypocrisy after he was quoted as saying Berbatov was their target and he expected to get him.
Fergie is desperate to beef up his attack with Cristiano Ronaldo out until October and Louis Saha injured yet again.

Fergie won't deny Thierry link
ALEX FERGUSON has taunted Spurs by refusing to rule out a move for former Arsenal ace Thierry Henry.
Fergie is running out of patience over £30million Dimitar Berbatov and asked about the possibility of a £20million move for Barcelona hitman Henry, 30, admitted: “We have one or two options we’re looking at and it’s possible we’ll sign someone this week.
“The striker’s position is something that’s been pressing since the end of last season but now there is some light at the end of the tunnel.”
United clinched the Community Shield at Wembley yesterday with a 3-1 penalty shootout win over Portsmouth.
And the Old Trafford boss seems to be going cold over Spurs’ 27-year-old Bulgarian ace Berba.
Fergie added: “There is nothing at all to say about Berbatov. We’re looking at options elsewhere.
“We’d like to add to our squad and we’re making moves in that direction. We’re trying.
