MANCHESTER United ace Dimitar Berbatov fled his native Bulgaria with his family after a mafia threat to kidnap them, it was reported yesterday.
The £30million ace, 28, was flown out of Sofia on a plane arranged by United boss Sir Alex Ferguson two weeks ago.
Mafia dons warned his lover Elena and daughter Dea were at risk unless he paid them £500,000.
Berbatov - kidnapped by the mafia when he was a rising star - is thought to have done a deal with clan bosses to leave his family alone.
