FERGUSON´S KLEBERSON ASSESSMENT
Sir Alex Ferguson admits it has been a disappointing first season in England for Kleberson, but he hopes for better from the Manchester United midfielder next term.
The Brazilian World Cup winner arrived at Old Trafford in a puzzling summer deal that prompted suspicions United were looking to help number one transfer target Ronaldinho settle by introducing an international team-mate to the squad.
Of course, Ronaldinho famously instead joined Barcelona when United were unable to meet Paris Saint Germain´s asking price.
Kleberson has done little to justify his £5.9 million price tag and the former Atletico Paranaense man will perhaps be fortunate to obtain a second season with The Red Devils after a relatively poor campaign for the club as a whole.
" It has not been an easy season for him and the good thing for him will be to get the season over with," said Ferguson.
" He has come into English football, got married, has become a father and all that can´t have been easy when you´ve come over from Brazil and are trying to settle here.
" He also had a shoulder injury in the early part of the season and recently this knee injury.
" So it has not been a lucky season for him.
" Hopefully, with this season behind him, he´ll be much better next season for it.
" I think all the young players will be."
faut croire que là kleb ne part pas puisque fergie dit qu´il espere mieux de lui la saison prochaine.
