After helping Manchester United collect their record 19th league title, striker Dimitar Berbatov has revealed that he intends to see out the remainder of his contract at Old Trafford.

"I have a contract for one more year and I will go nowhere," Berbatov confirmed. "Now I am part of United's 19th title and I want to be part of the 20th, that's my plan.

"I am the happiest man in the team because I'm a champion and top goalscorer in the league. To win 19 titles is a fantastic achievement.

Berbatov scored 21 Premier League goals this campaign, doubling the tally from his previous two seasons with the Red Devils. The 30-year-old joined Sir Alex Ferguson's side from Tottenham Hotspur in a reported £30.75 million transfer deal in 2008.

For now, Berbatov has his sights fixed on Saturday's Champions League final against Barcelona, and the Bulgarian is confident the recent success on the domestic front will see his team-mates bring another trophy home to Manchester.

"I expect to win against Barcelona. Everybody thinks the Spaniards are favourites but nobody knows who will win," he said.
