Dimitar Berbatov admits he wants to be playing more at Manchester United. Berbatov has started just five of United's 24 Barclays Premier League matches this season and was famously left out of the matchday squad for last season's Champions League final.

He told Bulgarian sports website sportal.bg: "I am a Manchester United player, but I do not currently play in as many games as I want. 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."
