Kleberson - Ronaldinho convinced me to sign for United

Ronaldinho convinced Kleberson to sign for Manchester United, the midfielder has revealed.
The Brazilian moved to Old Trafford in 2003 in a £6million transfer from Atletico Paranense.
Kleberson has recalled how he was persuaded to join United after a conversation with Ronaldinho, only for his compatriot to back out of a move to the Premier League.
Kleberson told ESPN: “Ronaldinho told me he was going to Manchester.
“He kept saying to me, ‘Come to Manchester!’ I wanted to go, but I was reluctant because I didn’t speak English and United didn’t have any Portuguese speakers.
“Ronaldinho persuaded me and I went to Manchester. But he didn’t.”
