Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Sun, 10/25/2009 - 10:49

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has happily compared Dimitar Berbatov to legend Eric Cantona.

Ahead of today's clash at Liverpool, Ferguson said: "I've been pleased with [Dimitar] Berbatov's form this season, he's responded well to playing all the time. He reminds me of Eric Cantona, the way he takes his time when other players would hurry.

"And like Eric, although he can do the flicks and first time passes very well, he knows when a short, simple pass is the best option. I always used to say Eric was the best ever passer of the simple pass."
