Manchester United hero Dimitar Berbatov has admitted he is pleased with the new rule changes in football regarding time wasting.
The Premier League is set to allow referees to add on much more stoppage time, similar to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
While players such as Raphael Varane and Kevin De Bruyne are not fans of the rules, given they would make games a lot longer, Berbatov is in favor.
Speaking to Betfair, the former United, Tottenham and Fulham striker said: "So far, we've seen lots of added on time in matches. To be honest, I'm in favor of the new added time rules.
"Sometimes in games, the actual playing is not what people expect it to be. If you calculate it, around 50 minutes is probably played in an average 90-minute game, with all the fouls and breaks in the match.
"I think the players will like it, obviously when you're winning 1-0 and holding onto a lead late in the game, then the players won't like it.
"At the end of the day, I think people want to watch more football, so I'm okay with it.
"The amount of time the ball is stopped during a game has to be compensated, and the only way is with additional time.
"With this, I think players will have to stop wasting time."
