'I couldn't adapt my play style' - Kleberson reveals reason for failed Man Utd move

Former Manchester United midfielder Kleberson has admitted that he struggled to adapt his play style to the Premier League after arriving at Old Trafford.

The Brazilian joined the Red Devils in a deal worth £6 million in August 2003 and arrived with a great deal of pedigree having won the 2002 World Cup with his country, but failed to make an impact in England.

He was shipped off to Besiktas two years later after making just 20 appearances for the club, and he has now revealed why he never hit the heights of his international performances.
