D.Berbatov: A.Ferguson lost my respect © EuroFootball.com

The new Fulham striker Dimitar Berbatov has expressed his anger towards former coach Alex Ferguson.

"I don't think I deserved such punishment at the 'Man Utd' club - being completely left out to play in the last season. I asked the coach at least 15 times if I was needed. And he always reassured me that I was a very important player and shouldn't think about other teams, but still I was always sidelined," the Bulgarian said.

"That's why A. Ferguson lost my respect," said the 31-year-old player, claiming that he left without saying goodbye to the Scot.
