Bulgarian football star Dimitar Berbatov has made it clear he is unlikely to quit Manchester United despite his exclusion from the Champions League final squad.

"I will stay. I will fight for the 20th title. If I were an easy quitter, I would never have made it this far. Everything at Manchester United starts from scratch for me on July 4," Berbatov said in an interview for 24 Hours daily.

"I want to apologize to everyone for not taking part in the final. I hoped to make the whole of Bulgaria happy with my play. This did not happen and I can only say I am sorry for myself and for the Bulgarians, who expected to see me," Berbatov told bTV private channel.

"There will be new finals and we will be fighting for new titles. I am moving ahead. When you go through difficult times, you should not quit," he said.

The Bulgarian international did not hide he is still licking his wounds after being left out of Manchester United's Champions League final squad.

"The truth is that I stayed at the dressing room and watched the Champions League final there, on a TV screen. I was really disappointed. I was ashamed that I was not part of the team and did not want people to see how sad I feel," Berbatov confessed.

As Manchester United's season came to an end, rumors claimed that Dimitar Berbatov's time at Old Trafford was nearing an end.

Premiership club Newcastle, German squad Borusia Dortmund, Juventus, Roma, Bayern Munich and his former club Tottenham are said to be ready to offer the 30-year-old an escape route from his current tough situation in the team, even though he has stated on multiple occasion he wants to end his career at Old Trafford.
