Berbatov Hails Manchester United Spirit

        Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov was always confident his side would come back to beat Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Tuesday night.United appeared to be heading for their first Barclays Premier League defeat of the season when goals from former Red Devil Craig Cathcart and DJ Campbell sent them into half-time 2-0 down.The visitors left it late but a double from Berbatov and one from substitute Javier Hernandez ensured a trademark United comeback denied Blackpool a famous win.

             Asked if he was confident of getting three points when they were in such a perilous position, Berbatov told ESPN: "Yes because we're always confident that if we can score one we can score more and that was the case today.

                                                                        

      "We fight like a team. In the second half we showed spirit and we won."Berbatov added: "You come here, it's not a friendly ground. The pitch is not as ours back home at Old Trafford."Blackpool played a very good game and scored goals, they could easily have scored more in the first half."In the end it was the team spirit that won the game.            United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted with his side's fighting spirit after a "terrible" first-half display.
"They just never give in," he told ESPN. "In the first half we were battered. We couldn't handle Charlie Adam."I don't know the reason for the first half. We were all over the place. Maybe we were too confident.
"We changed at half-time, Ryan Giggs made a tremendous difference. We started to penetrate and I think we were deserved winners in the end.""I know the game's never done in situations like today," he said. "You know at some point we're going to do something.
          "You'll get games like tonight. Maybe sometimes we won't come back but we'll always try to come back."Ferguson reserved special praise for goalscorers Hernandez and Berbatov. He said: "His pace and timing of the runs is fantastic. He's so good at that. He could have scored four goals. He's made a tremendous impact."
