Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has hinted that he could be tempted by a move to Italy in the future.
The former Tottenham man finally made his dream move to Old Trafford on transfer deadline day this summer, but Milan were also rumoured to be interested in his services.
And while he insists he is happy at United, he has not ruled out a move to Serie A.
“It is true – I always liked Italian football, but I preferred England,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I am happy there. For now.”

Aiyo... The guy is in Italy or giving an Italian newspaper an interview only... So if he really did said it, he was only being polite and diplomatic at an internation arena. Can't you guys really see it ? He is in Italy for their Bulgaria vs Italy match tomorrow so when a Gazzetta dello Sport reporter asked him, naturally he would say something like that what... He is representing Bulgaria right now and not United... Do you expect him to say No, I won't play in serie A cos its shit! and only the retirees come to play here now ?
The trouble he took to get to United is well known... He was City's first choice before they went for Robinho... They had a bid accepted by Spurs and had an entourage waiting for him at the Manchester airport only for him to go with the United's representives instead... City offered him more money and he still rather go to United...
This tells you the determination he had at joining United, compare this to Robinho... who all along said he wanted to join Chelsea, Chelsea and Scolari was like "a father" to him all that stuff in his press conference... Then suddenly a bigger offer came along and he didn't very think twice and forgot Chelsea and Scolari altogether...

“It is true, I have always liked Italian football,” said Berbatov. “But I preferred England. I am happy there...for the time being.”
Berbatov’s national team face Italy and Georgia in a World Cup qualifying double-header that they realistically need to take four points from, at least, to stand any chance of reaching South Africa.
Having opened his United account with two goals against Aalborg in the Champions League, Berbatov is still looking for his first league goals for the club.
The Bulgarian is unfazed by his lack of goals, however, and insists that once he has fully bedded in to the team the form that saw him score 27 goals for Tottenham last season will return.
It is an assessment that teammate Park Ji Sung agrees with.
“Berbatov is a fantastic goalscorer,” said the Korean. “Both of his goals against Aalborg last week were superb and he has what it takes to score at least 25 goals for us this season.”
“He is slowly getting used to our system and I’m happy to have him as a new teammate.”
