Berbatov : No let up tonight

United have fond memories of last May's title-clinching visit to the JJB Stadium, and Dimitar Berbatov hopes tonight's trip to Wigan proves almost as decisive.

The Reds can move to within a point of the title with a win this evening. Berbatov isn't expecting any favours from ex-Red Steve Bruce, though, and says United must work to move to the brink of a third consecutive league title.

"I know it will be difficult," he told MUTV. "But last year United won the league there, so hopefully history repeats itself, because winning is very important to us getting the title."

Wigan are 11th in the table, away from the threat of relegation but also out of the race for a European place. That won't deter them, assures Berbatov, who holds great respect for the way Bruce organises his team.

"Wigan have a very good team and an excellent coach in Steve Bruce, who is a United legend.

"Every team that plays against us gives 100 per cent and more. But they know we have great players and Sir Alex leading us, so this will be one of the biggest tests of their lives. If we play our game, we can win."
