Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has been amazed by the support the club has received so far on their tour of the United States.
Berbatov, 29, has been with the rest of the squad in Chicago as they prepare for the first match of their North American tour in Toronto, Canada today. As usual with United's summer trips, scores of fans have been on hand to give them a huge welcome.
Speaking to Soccer Moment News, the Bulgarian was blown away by the reception he has received on the other side of the Atlantic.
"You get a positive energy from the fans," Berbatov said.
"They are always cheering for the team and always cheering for the players. For example, today in training it was very nice for us to see all the people there supporting us, and it's like that all over the world wherever we go.
"It shows how big Manchester United is."
United are also set to meet the Philadelphia Union, Kansas City Wizards and the MLS All Stars, before taking on Chivas in Mexico in the coming weeks.
Wes Brown was convinced the games will stand the team in good stead for next season.
"It will be a good game," Brown noted.
"We're probably more used to playing Celtic than anyone, so I'm sure there'll be a few tackles flying in.
"It's more of a fitness thing and about just getting back into it."
