Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Dimitar Berbatov will start this Sunday against Liverpool. Ferguson will put his faith in the 29-year-old when he sends him out against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.

"Not everyone's questioned him," Sir Alex said this morning. "He has a lot of admirers, particularly within this club.

"When we buy a player for a lot of money there's more focus on them. When they have a bad game they get criticism other players might not get.

"Dimitar's had some marvellous games for us. I've told him he has to dismiss the press. I think he worried about [the headlines sometimes]. But he's expressed himself this season very well, he's enjoying his football and he'll play on Sunday."
