GYM'LL FIX IT FOR BERBATOV
£30.75m Dimitar 'not up to United standard'
DIMITAR BERBATOV will be put on a crash fitness course when he finally joins up with Manchester United this week.
The £30.75million Bulgarian faces a full assessment of his physical condition.
He sailed through his medical to complete his move from Spurs but Old Trafford staff were concerned about his general conditioning.
A club insider said: "The coaches have been told to put him on an extensive fitness programme when he returns from international duty with Bulgaria to bring him up to 'United standards'.
"We believe he has a natural fitness that allows him to get away with things most other players can't.
"But we think there's another 25-30 per cent to come once he's involved fully.
"Even Berbatov will be surprised at the extra levels of fitness he will be able to achieve with the United the training programme."
One area of Berbatov's lifestyle which might concern boss Alex Ferguson is his liking for the occasional cigarette.
There is a strict 'no smoking' rule enforced at Carrington.
