The English Premier League resumes this weekend after three midweek days full of European football action. Defending Champions Manchester United are engaged in another away game. This time, they travel to Blackburn to face Paul Ince’s men.

One man who will receive a lot of attention is Manchester United’s new signing Dimitar Berbatov. The Bulgarian had a good time in midweek as he scored a brace in his side’s 3 – 0 Champions League win in Denmark and he hopes to keep it up:

“It was very important for me (to score).I’m glad to have done so. I scored the goals with the help of my team-mates and I think we played well tonight,” he said on Tuesday. “Our next game is on Saturday and I hope to score again then.”

The number 9 striker aims to fill in the hole created by Wayne Rooney’s absence, whose great goal rounded up Manchester’s win last week at home to Bolton.

The Reds are currently 11th in the league standings with only 8 points out of a possible 15.
