Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov is eyeing becoming a film director when he hangs up his boots.
The Bulgarian striker, who currently plays for wealthy Ligue 1 side Monaco, is also a fan of drawing cartoons, but it is the silver screen which is calling him, even before he has stopped his professional career.

Berbatov said: "If there is something or someone that I like then I draw them.
"I like Snoop Dogg, so I draw him. I like Louis de Funes, so I draw a cartoon.

"As soon as I finish my football career, it's certain that I will try to make films because I think I'll be pretty good at it."
The 33-year-old is currently on loan for the remainder of the season at Monaco from Fulham – and the principality outfit are hopeful of keeping him into next season.
Coach Claudio Ranieri has praised the Bulgarian, explaining he is working his socks off: "Others might want to see him show some more fight, but he works harder than he ever has.
"He is important for us and I think he wants to stay, but we'll talk about it later."
Berbatov has so far hit four goals in all competitions for Monaco, striking twice in Ligue 1 and twice in the Coupe de France.
