Brilliant Berbatov: 3rd hattrick of the season was the payback value to Sir Alex

Dimitar Berbatov already makes a headlines again after stuck a 3rd hattrick of the season by sinks Birmingham 5-0 last Saturday. Now, Berbatov is the leading goalscorer in BPL with 18 goals leaving Carlos Tevez (Man City) with 14.

Early of the season, Berbatov name was not at a headlines list. In fact, the Bulgarian was not a popular figure in Man Utd fans. However, after stuck a hattrick against arch rival Liverpool and Blackburn, Berbatov was a United popular name to be chant everytime he plays.

I still remember Sir Alex challenged Berbatov to hit at least 20 goals in all competition. But now with 2 goals to reach the target, I would say Sir Alex will definitely revised his wishes.
