SportBerbatov 'flattered' by FergusonSimon Johnson|Football Correspondent13 April 2012Dimitar Berbatov today admitted being shocked at the extent of Sir Alex Ferguson's personal involvement in his £30.75million transfer to Manchester United.Berbatov has confirmed the Scot met him at Manchester airport on Monday afternoon - the final day of the transfer window - to take him to the training ground.Spurs hadn't given United permission to talk to Berbatov at that point and had agreed a £34m fee with Manchester City instead. But, despite threats of reporting United to the Premier League over their conduct, Spurs eventually caved in and agreed a deal with Ferguson's club.The Bulgarian said: "I am flattered that he (Sir Alex) gave me so much of his time. He personally came to pick me up at the airport. It was a shock to me, but it was a pleasure to get to know him."The relations between Manchester United and Tottenham are quite tense, but the important thing is that all ended well."When asked why he wasn't tempted by a move to Manchester City, he added: "Money is not all important. I was determined to play for Manchester United. I can live on £1,000 as well as £50,000. It makes little difference for me."MORE ABOUTManchester CityManchester UnitedPremier LeagueSir Alex FergusonTottenham Hotspur
