Keane backs Berbatov's switch from Spurs to United
1:23pm Saturday 6th September 2008
ROBBIE KEANE has backed former Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov for moving to Manchester United.
Berbatov finally sealed his dream move to Old Trafford on deadline day after a summer-long, on-off saga surrounding the transfer.
And former strike partner Keane - who himself sealed a move from the north Londoners to Liverpool this summer - believes the 27-year-old has made the right decision to move to the Premier League champions.
"It's a fantastic move for him, but it's a massive one for Manchester United because he is a top, top player," Keane told Sky Sports News.
"I have seen that at first hand and he will be a massive addition to their squad.
"I am sure Berba wants to be a better player and he wants to win things, and I think that's the reason he went to Manchester United."
