The Bulgarian scored the crucial 64th minute opener at Old Trafford but United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said afterwards that the Bulgarian could have come off at half-time.

Ferguson once again raised the spectre of a knee operation for the player only a day after revealing that his record signing had vowed to battle through the pain barrier.

The club will now assess the fitness of the striker - who was substituted in the 73rd minute with United two-up - on Monday.

Ferguson said: "Dimitar was feeling his knee again.

"He played through it today but he could have come off at half-time.

"We will have to look at it again on Monday and see what the situation is."

If the Bulgarian does have to have a spell on the sidelines, Ferguson will certainly miss his threat.

The United boss added: "He was the player who looked most like scoring today.

"A couple of shots went just by the post, he also had a couple of headers over the bar. He had so many attempts he was probably relieved to get one in the end."
