let's not under estimate it either: he made most assists and scored most winners in the league despite playing way deeper than the other forwards, more as a midfielder than as a striker, 19 contributed league goals in terms of goals and assists, as many as Rooney...just like macheda played a vital role in us winning the prem.
lets not go and over estimate what berba did last term. he came to an already double winning side, that had the BPITW and the best defense in europe. he didn't have to do much to contribute. tevez had game winning goals for us as well, but as we all know, he isn't utd first XI quality either.
when the chips were down in the run in during the season, berba was dropped left and right.
fact is, players like berba and tevez, while united squad quality, are not first xi united material.
until we get wayne the proper partner up top, he's going to be a victim of his own superior ability/versatility and have to 'do a job' to mask inadequacies of the the squad.
as to whether he is first xi material, this season will provide the answer, it's too early to tell, as he has a new role in the team. it's quite obvious from your posts that you tend to dislike him and this seems to cloud your judgment. why do you feel the need to come up with derogatory comments about Berbatov every now and then?
