Striker Dimitar Berbatov has confidently declared that Manchester United will retain their Premier League crown this season.

The Bulgaria international scored United's final goal in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Fulham which sent them back to the top of the table.

The Red Devils leapfrogged Chelsea and Arsenal at the summit and Berbatov believes a fourth successive league title is now definitely heading back to Old Trafford.

"There can only be one winner and I think it is going to be us," said Berbatov, who has netted 10 goals in 34 appearances this season.

"Arsenal and Chelsea are great teams and we have difficult games ahead of us but the good thing is we play at home at Old Trafford against Chelsea and that will be an advantage for us.

"I am optimistic that in the end we will be champions."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
