Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov is set to join David Jones and Jamie Carragher on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football next week.

The Bulgarian, who had an illustrious career with Spurs, United and Fulham in the Premier League, will be in the studio tomorrow as the latter club take on Brentford at Craven Cottage. This marks Berbatov's debut appearance on Sky Sports' flagship show as a pundit, which typically offers a unique style compared to standard Premier League matchday coverage. The 43-year-old will be tasked with analysing this weekend's Premier League action alongside Carragher in a more detailed breakdown of the games.

Following the post-match analysis, the panel will delve into Berbatov's career before wrapping up the show. These segments are often lauded for their insightful portrayal of a player or manager's career.

Likely discussion points include Berbatov's transfer from Tottenham to United, a move that seemed destined for Manchester City until Sir Alex Ferguson expressed interest. Additionally, we can expect to learn more about his time at Old Trafford as well as his thoughts on Erik ten Hag's exit and Ruben Amorim's appointment.

Berbatov is no stranger to Sky Sports, having already featured on their coverage this season. Before the October international break, he last appeared as a pundit on Super Sunday.

He shared his views that day on United's draw with Aston Villa and Tottenham's 3-2 loss to Brighton and Hove Albion. Berbatov was particularly scathing as a pundit insisting that United's squad should have been embarrassed that Jonny Evans was their best player at Villa Park.
