'If Palace score three past you, you're in trouble!' - Berbatov worried for Man Utd & tells them to buy a centre-back

Dimitar Berbatov has admitted to being worried for Manchester United and urged them to buy a new centre-back following an "awful" display against Crystal Palace in their Premier League opener.

United were outplayed in every department during a 3-1 loss to Palace at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Ex-Red Devils winger Wilfried Zaha bagged a brace on his latest return to the club after Andros Townsend's early opener, with £35 million ($45m) summer signing Donny van de Beek grabbing what amounted to nothing more than a consolation goal for the hosts on his debut.
