Manchester United Legend Dimitar Berbatov Suggests Kai Havertz as His Successor
Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has caused a stir among fans by claiming that Arsenal midfielder Kai Havertz is his successor in terms of playing style. Berbatov believes that no other player in the Premier League resembles his style of play more than Havertz.
Berbatov was renowned for his laid-back style, exceptional first touch, and goal-scoring ability, having scored 94 Premier League goals during his career. Havertz possesses all these qualities and has recently showcased his goal-scoring prowess with Arsenal.
Although Havertz’s performances have impressed, some fans found Berbatov’s claim amusing. One fan jokingly commented, “I know he’s talking about style of play, but Berbatov saying Havertz is similar to him made me laugh and cry at the same time.”
Another fan added, “Blasphemy,” while a third questioned, “What is he smoking?”
Despite Berbatov’s belief that Havertz shares his playing style, it was actually his Arsenal teammate Gabriel Martinelli who recently attempted to replicate one of Berbatov’s famous tricks in a match against Sevilla last month.

In the match against Sevilla, Gabriel Martinelli successfully executed Berbatov’s famous spin trick as the ball was about to go out of play. Martinelli appeared trapped and moving away from the goal but managed to deceive his marker by flicking the ball over his foot and spinning past him.
