Berbatov believes manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer deserves recognition for improving United’s fortunes, but added his former side need to be more consistent

‘I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that United can suddenly win the Premier League or the Champions League, it’s too early and they have to get that word back – consistent
‘They’ve been lacking that lately, if they find that, one can wonder about the titles, but they have to win games regularly’
