DIMITAR Berbatov has been offered an escape route from his Old Trafford nightmare by Paris St Germain.
French club Paris St Germainhave offered Manchester United£18million for flop Dimitar Berbatov.
United chief executive David Gill said last week that the striker must wait until next summer to discover if he is being offered an extension to his contract that has one year to run.
Berbatov, 30, was snubbed despite Javier Hernandez and Antonio Valencia being given new deals. It means he is the only United player with less than a season to go on his current deal – a clear sign that he is playing for his future.
Gill said: “There is an option to extend Dimitar’s contract by another year on the club’s side but there’s no point yet. We have until the end of the season, so we can assess how it goes, talk to him and see how he performs.’’
Berbatov spent most of the second half of last season stuck on the sidelines following the emergence of Javier Hernandez.
The former Tottenham star's humiliation was complete when Fergie axed him from his squad for May's Champions League final against Barcelona.
The snub increased speculation Berbatov would leave Old Trafford this summer in search of regular first team football.
Gill said United wanted to keep Berbatov but the inference is that he is on trial.
