Tottenham Hotspur striker Dimitar Berbatov has confirmed he is staying at the north London club, ending recent speculation about the Bulgarian's future.

"I chose to join Tottenham last season, now I'm staying at the club through my own free will. At least for now," he told reporters.

The player's agent Emil Danchev revealed on Friday that Manchester United had enquired about the possibility of the Bulgaria captain joining them.

"No one said that United didn't have interest in me but it has to be clear that there will not be a move for now," Berbatov added.

The 26-year-old marksman joined Tottenham from German side Bayer Leverkusen for 16 million euros in May 2006.
