The English press claims that Dimitar Berbatov will begin a rigorous fitness course when he links up with Manchester United during the week...
Berbatov is yet to join the United squad despite completing his £30.75million move from Tottenham Hotspur on the final day of the transfer window.
The silky striker has been away on international duty, starring in Bulgaria's entertaining 2-2 draw with Montenegro in last night's World Cup qualifier.
And according to News of the World, Berbatov will undergo a full physical examination when he arrives at Old Trafford before being placed on an extensive fitness program.
The 27-year-old has never been renowned for his work-rate on the pitch - indeed, Sir Alex Ferguson initially had doubts about signing him due to his somewhat laconic nature.
But an interrupted start to the season, brought about by his unceremonious exit from White Hart Lane, has left Berbatov some way below "United standard" on the physical front.
The former Bayer Leverkusen hitman will also have to cut out his casual smoking, a matter the Red Devils are particularly strict on.
Ferguson hopes to have Berbatov in peak condition for a potential debut in next weekend's derby clash against Liverpool.
