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

At the end of the day; it is a matter of opinion, nobody can be vindicated yet.
My opinion is that he would start, regularly.
I also believe that:
In a similar vein to the beginning of last season; we would be scoring goals all over the pitch. Once we have that added threat to our front line, and lets not forget Berbatov's playmaking abilities; we would be making extra space for more of our players to score. I think that by signing him; Fergie would reinstate 4-4-2 as our primary formation, giving balance, and stretching the game instead of over relying on the creative abilities of three player or a good ball from midfield. This season Evra, and in recent weeks Hargreaves, have been the only players to take the ball up the byline, wingers, conventional or not, dont exactly exist in the current way we are playing. I still think Ronaldo is best out wide, drifting in, and the same goes for Nani; this is where their pace and skill is best used.
I just have a feeling we are going to sign Berbatov, a sort of premonition about it. Im not a psychologist, and im not in the know, i can explain why i think these things, but i shall not be arsed, i dont want to enter into a debate about why i think them, its mostly interpretation.
