DIMITAR Berbatov's position at Tottenham looks increasingly untenable after he asked to be given the chance to "follow my dream".

The Bulgaria striker, who has been linked with a move to Manchester United for much of the summer, did not allude to Sir Alex Ferguson's side by name, but with the Red Devils believed to be inching ever closer to agreeing a fee for the striker, the implications of his words are clear.

"I'm now in Tottenham but no one can disagree with me wanting to follow my dream," he told The Times ahead of his country's midweek friendly with Bosnia-Herzegovina.
