Man Utd legend Dimitar Berbatov names shock Arsenal star as his successor as fans ‘laugh and cry at the same time’

MANCHESTER UNITED legend Dimitar Berbatov has left fans in stitches by suggesting Kai Havertz is his successor.

The former striker believes no other player in the Premier League emulates his style of play more than the Arsenal midfielder.

Berbatov was known for his laid-back style and a brilliant first touch, while he also had an eye for goal with 94 Prem goals to his name.

Havertz ticks all those boxes after recently rediscovering his goalscoring touch with the Gunners.

He has four goals in his last seven games but some fans still found Berbatov’s claim amusing.

One reacted saying: “I know he’s talking about style of play but Berbatov saying Haverz is similar to him made me laugh and cry at the same time.”

Another added: “Blasphemy.”

A third wrote: “What is he smoking 😂”

And another commented: “Just like how a bird is the closest to a dinosaur.”

While Berbatov believes Havertz shares his style, it was his Arsenal team-mate Gabriel Martinelli who recently tried to replicate one of his tricks.

In a match against Sevilla last month the Brazilian pulled off the famous spin trick as the ball was running out of play.

Martinelli appeared to be boxed in and heading away from goal before deceiving his marker by flicking the ball over his foot and spinning past him.
