Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has spoken of his bicycle kick strike against Liverpool.

Berba struck an amazing overhead goal in United's stunning win last month.

He told manutd.com: "I was just in the box and I saw Nani's cross coming. Wayne Rooney was in front of me and he was going for the ball so I was screaming for him to leave it. I think he heard me - afterwards in the dressing room he said he did and that's why he left the ball at the last minute.

"I saw the ball drop and there was no other way to control it except with my thigh and I just tried to do something different. In a situation like this, you don't have so much time to think. The first thing that came into my mind was to take it on the thigh and try to hit it like this [mimes an overhead kick]. Even when I did it, I didn't know the ball was in.

"I was on the ground, turning around, and then I heard the crowd screaming. After that I knew something special had happened."
