As for backing up my theory;
Ronaldo, Carrick, Scholes, Nani, Flethcher, Park, Giggs, Hargreaves and Anderson are all more likely to score than their counterparts;
Jenas, Tanio, Zakora, Malbranque, Boatang, Taarabat, Huddlestone, Lennon, O'hara,
When mdfielders are capable of scoring they will attack and if they are any good they will score
Where they aren't actually very good and the team relies on one player a lot the midfielders tend to pass to him or rely on him setting them up.
Where Manchester United have a decent midfield who are capable of scoring Berbatov will get less service from them. Also most of the service from Man Utd's midfielders goes to Ronaldo and that will not change as Rooney, Tevez and Ronaldo are all much better than Berbatov.
Berbatov also will not be the first choice striker so with limited games you also get limited scoring chances
That probably doesn't make sense to you but it does to me

1) I can not be bother to check this, but I would think that those Tottenham midfielders will actually have scored more/similar amount of goals in comparison with the Utd players you have named(excluding Ronaldo who has been exceptional).
I feel this is a weak point, and the stats are likely to prove this.
2) If the players "aren't actually very good " surely the serive will be worse, and goalscoring oppurtunities will arise less frequently?
3)Berbatov is likely to get more and better service at Utd, like you said, he will be surrounded by better players.
4) I think he would be first choice. if not, he is likely to play as many games as Tevez. Berbatov will allow Rooney to flourish, as Rooney will be playing as a support striker, which is his natural position.
