Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has backed Bulgaria teammate Martin Petrov to quit Manchester City for Tottenham.

Petrov spent last night in a London hotel and his move to Spurs was backed by Manchester United forward Berbatov, his Bulgaria team-mate.

"I hope Martin goes to Spurs," said the ex-Tottenham star.

"He does not deserve such a relationship with Manchester City and Spurs are a bigger club than City."
