Dimitar Berbatov finally on his way to Manchester United

Dimitar Berbatov's dream move to Manchester United should finally go through today for £28million.

Spurs had reported United for the way they attempted to lure the Bulgaria striker from White Hart Lane and the Premier League champions have at last agreed a fee of £25m plus a further £3million "adjustment" as compensation over the tapping-up claim.

Berbatov, the subject of a late bid by Bayern Munich, has been cleared to sort out terms with United before Tottenham take on Chelsea tomorrow.

Spurs are now resigned to losing Berbatov as they close in on deals for Roman Pavlyuchenko and Andrei Arshavin after weeks of haggling on those fronts.

The controversial Berbatov has made little secret of his desire to move to Old Trafford and last weekend was left out of the Tottenham squad completely because he reportedly claimed he was not in the mood to play.

However rather than start a full-scale war United and Spurs have agreed a compromise payment figure for the player which will allow both clubs to get on with the season.

Pavlyuchenko looks set to complete his move to Spurs having arrived in London from Spartak Moscow for a medical.
