Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Dimitar Berbatov has similar traits to Old Trafford legend Eric Cantona.

"Dimi is a different player to what we had last season," Sir Alex said. "He has a patience and composure in the final third of the field, which is helping us.

"He's scored four or five winning goals for us now. Cantona used to score important goals and if Berbatov continues to, then it's an emphatic result for us."
