Manchester United [Images] are interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur striker Dimitar Berbatov, the Bulgaria captain's agent said on Saturday.
British media earlier reported that the European and Premier League champions had made a 20 million pounds ($39.53 million) bid for the gifted marksman, saying United were prepared to offer Berbatov 80,000 pounds a week to move to Old Trafford.
"I know for certain Manchester United have shown interest in signing Dimitar Berbatov," agent Emil Danchev told Bulgaria's Darik radio. "But I'm not entitled to make any more comments."
Last year, United also made enquiries about the possibility of signing Berbatov but he stayed with the north London [Images] club.
The striker turned down an offer from United when he joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen for 16 million euros in 2006.
The 27-year-old has been linked with some of Europe's other top clubs following excellent performances in his first two seasons in England [Images]. He was instrumental in helping Tottenham win the League Cup last season -- their first trophy since 1999.
