Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has revealed that his uncle is an exorcist who counseled the Bulgaria international against signing for the Red Devils because the nickname had unholy connotations.
"He is a priest and exorcist back home in Bulgaria - a powerful man who drives out demons and bad spirits.
"When I moved to United he had a problem with their nickname.
"As a godly man, he does not like the name Red Devils."
However, due to Manchester United's international fame, the £30.75 million ex-Tottenham forward says his uncle has changed his tune.
"He has told me that his church has grown a lot bigger," Berbatov said. "eople are football crazy in Bulgaria and if his church is more full as I now play for Manchester United, then that is great.
"It doesn't matter what gets them to church as long as they get there to learn from him."
Behind the £30.75 million contract, Berbatov claims to be down-to-earth and family-oriented and says he owes his success to his mother and grandparents.
"I credit my success to my mother. Her prayers and support are everything to me," said the 28-year-old.
"I know all she does for me and I know nothing I do can ever pay back the amount of support she has given me.
"My grandparents are very important too; my grandfather is a very wise man and a great man to talk to.
"When I am home in the summer I will go to his allotment and help him dig, then we will take the fresh produce home to my grandmother and she will make the most wonderful food.
"The allotment has been the place for some great chats and," the United striker added, "it was there where we talked about me moving to a club where I could win major trophies and I asked him what he thought about Manchester United."
** Maybe Berbatov's uncle can drive the evil spirits out of Dimitar'sboots. Y'know... the ones that keep the ball from going in the net wehhe kicks it. Maybe he can take Park along with him...
