Manchester United may dump out-of-form Dimitar Berbatov

Manchester United is ready to dump out-of-form Bulgarian star Dimitar Berbatov at the end of the season, as he has failed to make an impact since his £30.75 million switch from the Tottenham Hotspurs in September 2008.

His performances in the defeat against Chelsea and Sunday's goalless draw at Blackburn have been the final straw for many fans.

According to The Sun, manager Alex Ferguson too looks to have lost faith in the club's record signing.

Fergie opted for a half-fit Wayne Rooney against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinal second leg rather than risk Berbatov.

The striker did get the nod for the title crunch with Chelsea but it was his first start against any of United's big-four rivals this season.
