United set up the meeting of minds between Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger with their win over Porto in Portugal last night.

It promises to be an intriguing battle, contested by arguably the two most exciting teams in England. And at the end, Berbatov expects United to be the ones booking a trip to Rome on May 27.

"The Arsenal games are going to be great for everybody to watch and I know it is going to be difficult," said the Bulgarian.

"They are a great team. But we are Manchester United, so I think we are going to win."

"We are determined to defend this trophy and the fact we now have to face another English team makes it a little bit different. But we should still be confident."

Berbatov has become used to superstar status during a career that included a successful spell with Bayer Leverkusen before he joined Tottenham, where he became a fundamental part of a side that won the Carling Cup last season before his relationship with the London outfit turned sour.

Even he had to play second fiddle to Cristiano Ronaldo, whose wonder goal will be talked about for years to come, having been delivered from exactly 39.1 yards.

"It was a very special goal," said Berbatov. "Cristiano gives everything he can in every game. Sometimes you need a special player to do something out of the ordinary. Cristiano delivered."
