Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says that Dimitar Berbatov will be part of the team's pre-season overseas tour.

The Bulgarian has been heavily linked with a move out of Old Trafford this summer after falling down the pecking order last season.

"Nothing has happened with Dimitar and he'll join the tour to South Africa and China," he told MUTV. "He's a fantastic footballer.

"It wasn't a great season for him last season, partly because I settled more with Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck... and Chicharito.

"I don't think I treated Dimitar unfairly but he can feel disappointed that he didn't get more football. He's a fantastic talent."
