Dimitar Berbatov names shock Premier League player who resembles his play style the most... despite performances after big-money move dividing fans!

Dimitar Berbatov gave a surprising answer when asked which Premier League player resmbles his play style the most.

The Manchester United legend was known for his elegant and effortless manner - though some accused him of laziness.

‘There is a saying in Bulgaria that great quality doesn’t require much effort,’ he once said. ‘You’re not going to see me puffing around the pitch.'

Despite being a prolific striker who claimed the Premier League Golden Boot in 2010/11, Berbatov named a midfielder as the player most like him.

And clearly he was comfortable putting old enemy sentiments aside, as the ex-United and Tottenham man named an Arsenal star as his most similar player.
