Berbatov, who scored 56 goals in 149 games for the Reds between 2008 and 2012, is a fan of the way Carrick has got the side purring, since taking over as head coach earlier this year.
“I think the team is playing really, really good football,” said the Bulgarian. “And I mean it’s a joy to watch. Every time, it’s like okay, we can do more, because we are in third place now, if I’m not mistaken, so here we go.
“I think [it’s] the whole team, as a team, it’s easy to point to say this guy or that player and you can easily say Bruno [Fernandes], Casemiro, Sesko, with the goals he’s scoring, [Matheus] Cunha.
“It’s everybody, it’s not going to be fair to the whole team. As a team, all of a sudden, they are playing for each other. Like, if you look left, look back, look forwards, you want to play for yourself and for the team. They get that synchronisation on the pitch. That is pure joy now, when I’m watch I’m like ‘oh my God’. Keep going, guys!
“The assists from Bruno, the goals from Sesko, the fire from Casemiro to get the ball. The defending, as well, has improved. Everything right now is flowing, free flowing, and I hope, until the end of the season, we are going to get more of this.”
