Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has shared his thoughts on Benjamin eko's adaptation to life at Old Trafford, urging the Slovenian forward to be more vocal and assertive on the pitch. Speaking on Rio Ferdinand's podcast, Berbatov praised eko's strength, technical ability, and two-footed finishing while stressing the need for controlled emotion to earn trust and quicker service from teammates.
According to Softfootball, Manchester United secured eko from RB Leipzig for 85 million in August 2025 after an impressive stint in Germany. The Bulgarian legend, known for his calm composure and creativity during his United days, said eko has all the physical tools to succeed but must blend that with assertiveness.
As reported by Softfootball, the 22-year-old striker has already shown flashes of his potential, scoring his first goal at Old Trafford earlier this season . However, Berbatov believes the youngster still needs to find his voice within the squad to fully thrive.
