Manchester United forward Dimitar Berbatov would be open to a move to AC Milan, his agent has stated.

The Bulgarian attacker is seemingly surplus to requirements at Old Trafford, with Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck ahead of him in the pecking order.

The eastern European hitman has admitted this week that he may have to leave the Red Devils to secure regular first-team football, and has been linked with a move to the Rossoneri.

Agent Emil Dantchev has stated that his client would relish a move to Serie A and Massimiliano Allegri's men.

"He may leave Manchester United at any time. His most likely destination is Italy, he's always loved Italian football," Dantchev told calciomercato.com, translated to English by Sky Sports.

"I know that Milan and Juventus are looking for a striker. I can say that they are two big clubs.

"I cannot say much but I do say that Berbatov likes Milan and looks good in red and black. Dimitar would run to AC Milan, because the club have appreciated him for years.

"They will have to speak with Manchester United and start negotiations," he confessed.

Berbatov scored nine goals in 21 appearances for Sir Alex Ferguson's men last term.
