The Barclays Premier League champions' £30.75m record signing was limited to the last couple of minutes in his side's thrilling Community Shield win over Manchester City at Wembley on Sunday.
It might not have been what the 30-year-old was hoping for after putting the shattering disappointment of not even making Sir Alex Ferguson's bench for last May's Champions League final defeat to Barcelona behind him to commit his future to the Red Devils.
However, at least he played some part in what has been suggested was the best Community Shield encounter ever.
beautiful game
United's astounding comeback from two goals down at the break to win through Nani's injury-time effort certainly fulfilled Berbatov's view of the beautiful game."I'm always ready to entertain," he said.
"It's because when I watch a game, I don't want to see people falling asleep during it.
"Even if I watch a game, if it's boring for me, it doesn't matter if it's Real Madrid, Barcelona or some other big club playing, I just switch off the TV. I don't like boring games, I want entertainment and that's what the fans want as well.
"That's what we try to give them and I can only speak about myself and try to give entertainment to everybody."
The Bulgarian was joint leading marksman in the Barclays Premier League in 2010/11, sharing the Golden Boot with Carlos Tevez on 20 goals each.
But he found his place under pressure from the sparkling form of Javier Hernandez and Berbatov knows he will have to look to his laurels in the new campaign and he hopes to be involved when United begin the defence of their crown at West Bromwich Albion on 14th August.
