Former Manchester United and Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov has joined Kerala Blasters of the Indian Super League, the club announced on Wednesday (23).

Former Bulgarian international Berbatov, 36, will link up with his former United teammate Wes Brown at the team in southern India.

Berbatov, who also starred for Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen and English side Fulham, had been without a club since leaving PAOK Thessaloniki a year ago.

Another Old Trafford veteran, former assistant coach Rene Meulensteen, is Kerala's new boss.

The ISL, which will be in its fourth season, will grow to 10 teams this year.

Karishma Vijay credits her single father after winning Lord Sugar's £250,000 investment

Highlights

  • Vijay, 28, beat fellow finalist Pascha Myhill to win The Apprentice.
  • Her father raised her and her sister alone despite community doubt.
  • She plans to grow beauty brand Kishkin with Lord Sugar's backing.
When Karishma Vijay's father chose to raise his two daughters alone, people in his community told him it could not be done.
On Thursday night, his younger daughter won The Apprentice. "My older sister is a doctor, and I'm the winner of The Apprentice. What more can a dad ask for?"
Karishma said after securing Lord Sugar's £250,000 investment in the BBC show's all-female final, now in its 20th year.
The 28-year-old beauty entrepreneur from Ashford, Surrey, noted that her parents are "the proudest people on Earth right now," adding that her father raised both her and her sister as a single parent against the wishes of those around him.
"Being from the kind of community I'm from, they told my dad, there's no way you're going to be able to raise these two girls as a man, as a single parent," she said. Thursday night proved them wrong.

Win against odds

Vijay beat fellow finalist Pascha Myhill, a recruitment consultant from Reading, Berkshire, in a task requiring both women to build a brand and advertising campaign for their respective business ideas.

Previously fired candidates returned to support both finalists before they presented to Lord Sugar and a panel of industry experts.
