Finding a New Club Easy for Berbatov

Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson made it very clear during the summer that they had no intention whatsoever of selling Dimitar Berbatov. A number of clubs may have shown an interest, but for both the club and the player, it was irrelevant as both wanted the same thing - for him to stay.

However, Berbatov's contract does run out at the end of this season; June 2012. The player is living his dream to play at Old Trafford, but if he is not offered an extension to his current contract, there is little the 30 year-old striker can do but to find another club to play his football.

According to his agent, that will be no trouble at all. His outstanding technical ability, beautiful touch and control of the football and incredible composure on the ball have been clear for all to see since he joined United for just over £30 million in 2008, and if United do decide to wave a grateful goodbye to Berbatov at the end of the season, it is this quality which is not worrying Emil Dantchev at all. He said:

"We have to accept the reality of the situation, but make us an offer and we will accept, or if not, we’ll go."

"Have patience though, knowing the quality of Berbatov, I’m not worried about him if we have to find another club."

After a slow and critical start his career at Manchester United, Berbatov has scored 47 goals in 134 appearances including that wonderfully crucial hat-trick against Liverpool in September 2010. His unique style of play might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it has been effective in many United games over his short career in Manchester.

The Bulgarian has very much grown on United fans, with many feeling a great deal of sympathy for his lack of playing time this season when you consider he was the clubs top scorer last season as well as the Premier League joint golden boot winner.

Picture: Rosicky "laugh" At Larsson Free-Kick

As Sky showed the replays of Sebastian Larsson's wonderful free-kick goal against Arsenal over and over again from various different, high definition camera angles, one angle showed an image of the Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky, with his back to the net, knowingly walking away from the goal. He knew Sunderland had scored, and he didn't want to turn around to witness them celebrate the goal.

However, questions were immediately asked of the 31 year-old's reaction to Arsenal's conceded goal on Sunday. Some even thought he was laughing at the incident, but Rosicky has moved to clear his name from criticism, saying:

"I was laughing? That's not laughter because when he took the ball immediately I was thinking about when Rooney scored at Old Trafford. That wasn't a laugh – it was a desperate laugh that such a screamer would be scored again."

Asked if he thought the ball was goal bound as soon as the Swedish and former Arsenal midfielder, Larsson hit it, he said:

"Yeah, exactly. I don't have to turn around. When I see his face and he is celebrating, why should I? Anyone who thinks I would laugh at that... it is very disappointing. For people to take it that way is unbelievable."

His team mates who were stood in the wall may have not had the same reaction, as they swivelled swiftly on their heels to watch the ball curl beautifully into the top corner, but Rosicky's desire and ambition is not in doubt. After a difficult start to the season for all involved in Arsenal, the Czech international is positive for the future:

"It was a very difficult start for us but the season is very long and I don’t feel it is impossible for us [to finish in the top four]. Every game is very difficult and you have to fight hard. The season is long and there are so many points to play for."

"Arsenal is a great club that always has to play for the top four. Even if we started badly, it must still be our aim."

Racist Suarez Allegations

Patrice Evra pushed away Luis Suarez with visible contempt. It had been a frustrating game for Manchester United at Anfield, so perhaps the atmosphere and pressure had got to United's captain. If only it had. Instead, according to the French left back, his attitude was more in disgust towards the Uruguayan attacker, with Suarez apparently making vile, racist remarks, repeated "more than ten times" at Evra in an attempt to wind him up.

Cheating is one thing - something Suarez is known for, thanks to his World Cup hand ball and constant dramatic dives all over the football pitch. However, racism is something completely different, and utterly abhorrent. He has only been in the Premier League for a short time, but has already managed to turn himself into a hate figure for many. If Evra's accusations are proved to be correct, it will do nothing for his popularity.

Evra spoke to French TV Channel Canal Plus after the game against Liverpool which ended in a 1 - 1 draw. He was able to explain why he was so furious with Suarez during the game which resulted in the United man being yellow carded for his protests against the offending player. The United captain said:

"I was very upset. In 2011 you can’t say things like this. He knows what he said, the ref knows it, it will come out."

"I won’t repeat what he said, but it was a racist word, and he said it more than ten times. He tried to wind me up. I won’t make a huge deal out of it, but it’s very upsetting and disappointing."

Of course, allegations such as these will result in serious consequences for Suarez if they are proven to be true, and the FA last night launched an investigation into the incident which is supposed to have occurred around the hour mark in the game. A Statement read:

"The Football Association have this evening been made aware of an incident that is alleged to have occurred during the Liverpool versus Manchester United fixture at Anfield today."

"Referee Andre Marriner was made aware of an allegation at the end of the fixture and subsequently reported this to the FA. The FA will now begin making enquiries into the matter."

Naturally, Liverpool immediately spoke to Suarez about the incident after finding out about the accusations after the game, with the club releasing the following:

"We have since checked with Luis Suarez and he categorically denies using any language that could be interpreted in that way."

Watch: Arsenal 2 - 1 Sunderland

Arsenal won a precious three points at the Emirates against Sunderland thanks to a great double by their captain and talisman, Robin van Persie.

The Dutch master opened the scoring in the 29th second, giving the whole team and fans at the ground an almighty early boost amidst their poor start to the season. However, despite dominating the game from there on in, Sunderland were allowed back into the game when Mikel Arteta conceded a free-kick just outside the area.

Who would step up, but former Arsenal boy, Sebastian Larsson, who curled an absolute beauty into the top corner, unstoppably passing Sczcesny in the Arsenal goal. It was a blow, but a blow that Arsenal have become used to this season. They carried on as they were after a shaky few minutes, and at last got their reward through the quite fantastic Robin van Persie.

He had narrowly missed scoring an absolute stunner of a goal early in the first half with a sublime chip which hit the post, but the winner was scored with all of the power, pace and accuracy that is contained in that wondrous left foot of his. Enjoy the goals below:
