Great!

Fergie on the whereabouts of our Brazilian midfield maestro:

"Kleberson came back to training with us on Tuesday and we shall be monitoring his fitness. There has been no deal struck with Corinthians. He is our player and we are going to see how he does now he's over this latest setback.

“He suffered the injury against Arsenal in the Carling Cup and he tried to make a comeback but it was decided he needed surgery and we thought it was best if he went back to Brazil for it and do the remedial work there. We have kept in touch with the surgeon and physio. We have been getting faxes from them of his progress and we even received pictures of the operation! He’s been over there since mid-January and now he’s back and he gives me another option.

“He’s coming back as a fresh player and, with Darren Fletcher out at the moment, that is great for me. The boy has been very unlucky in his career over here. He’d never had a long-term injury previously but then he gets over here and he dislocates his shoulder in his second match for us. Then he had a knee problem and then this ankle trouble.

“Some people just don’t seem to possess the luck you need when you start a new career, especially when you are in a new country. Kleberson hasn’t had that good fortune. In terms of quality he is a fantastic footballer and hopefully things might change for him now with us.”
