Berbatov is a great addition to any squad. But with United's case I feel he is spoiling the balance of the team. And its due to him they are not moving the ball as quickly as they do normally. And its due to him Tevez has been made to sit on the bench. Rooney Tevez combo has been disrupted due to this. And adding to all these he really has not set OT on fire........Your views please

Yes, I agree with you, but only to a certain extent. I think both Tevez and Berbatov are good players, no one better than the other. They are different types of players. The problem now is the way Ferguson is utilizing Berbatov. He's putting Berbatov in the first-team and putting Tevez on the bench, so it's like he's replacing Tevez directly for Berbatov. I don't agree with this as I think the main reason why Ferguson bought Berbatov is to add depth to Man Utd's attack, not to simply replace a good player for another. Tevez must not be under-rated. His partnership with Rooney was pivotal to Man Utd's success last season. Adding depth is the best way to improve on last season. So what Ferguson needs to do is to rotate between Berbatov, Tevez and Rooney in a more balanced manner, based on the match to be played. There are games in which Tevez should play and not Berbatov, and vice versa. Man Utd have a lot of matches this season due to our involvement in the World Club Cup, so a better rotation will policy is vital in maintaining fitness levels.

i think ferguson will not leave teves out .frankly to say ,the skill of teves is better than berbatov.and the ability of key battles will let teves stay in manchester.because teves has kicked many goals in many key matches. i think berbatov is much weaker than teves.also his speed is not good enough.sometimes he will let the agressive speed slow.but teves will not.and indeed since berbatov came to manchester ,teves has not given too much choice.so ferguson should give more choice and trust to teves.if that ,we will find teves is much better than berbatov.
