Dimitar Berbatov simply needs no introduction!

Although primarily known for his remarkable stint with Manchester United, the Bulgarian was a prolific striker in the Bundesliga, during his time with Bayer Leverkusen.

In fact, he featured in 202 matches all competitions for the German giants, more than any other club he has played at during his career. He also acquired an impressive record of scoring 90 goals in those 202 outings for Die Werkself.

After impressing at Leverkusen, the striker made the next step in his career when he moved to Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of €15.7m. He replicated his Bundesliga form at Spurs as well, scoring 46 goals and providing 24 goals in just 102 matches in all competitions, for which he was rewarded with a move to European giants Manchester United for €38m.

He won three Premier League titles with the Red Devils, scoring 56 goals in 149 games. His partnership with Wayne Rooney, in particular, helped the club win a lot of silverware. Berbatov was the club's top scorer in the 2010/11, where he helped Manchester United lift their 12th Premier League title in the club's history.

Nearing the final phase of his career, Dimitar Berbatov is currently trying out his luck in the Indian Super League with Kerela Blasters FC.
