Manchester United legend Andy Cole has confidence Dimitar Berbatov will prove his worth today against Chelsea.

Berbatov must step out of Wayne Rooney's shadow today to prove himself worthy of United fans' respect.

Cole told MUTV: "Wayne has been a revelation this year, but without him we ran out 4-0 winners against Bolton and Berbatov was the man, scoring two goals. I thought he played extremely well.

"Although Chelsea are a different proposition, Saturday's game could be the one in which Berba produces that little bit of magic and people turn around and say, 'That's why we paid thirty million pounds for him.'

"I'm sure he will relish being the main man for United."

He added: "Of course when you lose the likes of Owen and Rooney people begin to question who is going to produce the goods. For me, Berbatov is the man."
