Former Man United star Berbatov joins Kerala Blasters

Doha: Indian Super League (ISL) side Kerala Blasters has former Manchester United star Dimitar Berbatov on a one-year contract.

The 36-year-old was a free agent after leaving the Greek side PAOK Salonika in June, 2016.

“Golden touch, turns like a dream & a deadly finish. The Bulgarian Hitman is set to take ISL by storm,” Kerala Blasters tweeted on Wednesday.

Berbatov, who is Bulgaria’s all-time leading scorer with 48 goals in 79 matches, joined United from Spurs in 2008 for a then club-record fee of £30m.

He will link up with Kerala’s new head coach Rene Meulensteen, who worked with him at Old Trafford as well as Fulham.
