ManUn Wants to Get Rid of Berba to Buy Van Persie

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson's dreamed-of transfer of Robin Van Persie depends on selling off Dimitar Berbatov, write UK media.

Bulgarian forward Berbatov has not been on ManUn's top team for months now, and reports that he is going to be sold are next to certain now.

The reasons Ferguson waits for Dutch forward Van Persie's transfer appear to be purely financial, with the manager wanting to garner some additional funds beforehand.

Berbatov is getting a salary of GBP 100,000 per week, and in addition to shedding that expense, ManUn would probably get some GBP 5 M from selling him.

Manchester United is expected to offer GBP 25 M to Arsenal to get Robin Van Persie.
