Berbatov said: “The feeling to play for the biggest club in the world, in my opinion, it showed me that I made it.
“It was my ambition from the beginning to get to the top, and obviously to win cups and medals, which every player wants to do, it was special for me.
"It was an award for working hard."
However the Bulgarian thanks Tottenham for giving him is break in the Premier League and making his trophy-laden spell at United possible.
Berbatov added: "Spurs were the team who gave me the opportunity to show what I could do in England, you don't forget that.
"That is why I will always be grateful to Spurs.
"Obviously Martin Jol believed in me 100 per cent every time, that's why in some way, of course, I missed playing because I had a great time.
"It helped me develop as a player."
Berbatov joined Tottenham from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen, going on to score 46 times in 102 games at White Hart Lane.
After moving to Manchester United, the Bulgarian spent four seasons at the club, netting 56 times in 149 games, before his two-year stint at Fulham - scoring 20 times in 54 games.
