Berbatov Covers His Face in Disbelief as Man Utd Fall Into the Relegation Zone
Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov was left in complete disbelief after seeing his old club fall into the Premier League relegation zone.
The Red Devils have endured a terrible start to the 2026/27 season under Michael Carrick.
After Nottingham Forest’s 3-1 victory over Manchester City on November 7, United dropped to 18th place in the league table.
Berbatov’s reaction was caught on camera during a live beIN Sports broadcast, quickly attracting attention from football fans.
Berbatov covers his face after seeing Man Utd’s position
While working as a pundit for beIN Sports, Berbatov was shown the latest Premier League standings.
When he realised Manchester United had fallen into the bottom three, the former striker put his hands over his face in shock.
“I don’t believe it,” Berbatov said.
However, the Bulgarian legend then delivered an even stronger message about his former club.
“The way United are playing sometimes, they deserve to be there honestly.”
His comments showed just how disappointed he has become with United’s performances this season.
Manchester United remain in serious trouble
Berbatov’s reaction came before Manchester United’s Premier League clash against Aston Villa on November 8.
Despite falling 2-0 behind inside the opening four minutes, Carrick’s side fought back to earn a dramatic 4-4 draw at Old Trafford.
Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu scored two late goals to rescue a point for the Red Devils.
However, the result was not enough to move United out of the relegation zone.
After 10 league matches, Manchester United have collected just eight points and remain 18th in the Premier League.
Berbatov’s reaction highlights United’s crisis
Berbatov enjoyed four successful seasons at Manchester United between 2008 and 2012, winning two Premier League titles under Sir Alex Ferguson.
During that period, United never finished lower than second in the league.
Now, the former striker is watching his old club fight near the bottom of the table.
With Michael Carrick facing growing pressure and the team still struggling for victories, Manchester United are entering a crucial period of their season.
Berbatov’s emotional reaction reflects the frustration many United supporters are feeling as the club continues its disappointing campaign.
