New Red Devil Dimitar Berbatov's first assignment as a Manchester United player will be to get himself into tip top physical shape.Berbatov has yet to link up with the Manchester United squad after sealing his deadline day US$60 million pound transfer from Tottenham Hotspur.
Instead, the striker has been away on international duty where he starred in Bulgaria's entertaining 2-2 draw with Montenegro in last night's World Cup qualifier.
According to English tabloid News of the World, Berbatov will now undergo a full physical check-up before being penciled in for an intensive fitness routine when he returns from the international qualifiers.
Whilst the 27-year-old has proved his worth in the Premier League for the past two years, the former Bayer Leverkusen front man has never been renowned for his work-rate on the pitch.
In fact, his lethargic and lazy persona even initially led to United boss Sir Alex Ferguson having doubts about bringing the striker to Old Trafford.
The fact that he has not even played a competitive game this season due to him being psychologically unfit to take to the pitch has all the more fuelled United's eagerness to whip him up into shape.
Moreover, Berbatov will also now have to quit his habit of occasionally lighting up a cigarette as smoking is strictly prohibited at United.
Fergie is hoping that the club's revolutionary fitness model for Berbatov will see him in peak shape when United take on arch rivals Liverpool next week.
