Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov is confident manager Sir Alex Ferguson knows how best to use him.

"I think this year will be different for me," said Berbatov. "I've had a pre-season tour with the team, which I missed last year.

"And I really know how every player in the team plays now, so I can understand them better on the pitch.

"Plus, Sir Alex knows the best way he can use me. We have many games and I'm looking forward to each one so I can score goals and make my contribution to the team."
