11 Players Who Stole A Living From Manchester United

7. Kleberson

World Cup winner or not, Kleberson did not have a good time at Old Trafford. He was a part of the Brazil squad around the time of the 2002 World Cup and picked up a winners medal before signing for United in 2003, but with a big reputation coming in to England he wholeheartedly failed to deliver. Expected to be a player to develop his potential in a new look United, Kleberson wilted under the pressure and failed to settle into the the English lifestyle, and with it, the Premier League. Having been talked up by Luiz Felipe Scolari after Brazil's 2002 win, he would have hoped to have been the driving force in the centre of the pitch. He was even presented to the media at the same time as Cristiano Ronaldo, though it's quite obvious that their careers took rather different directions since their United careers began. Kleberson left the club after two years to join Turkish side Besiktas, with the now 35-year-old playing for North American Soccer League side Indy Eleven.
