Kleberson has named three Manchester United players he thinks will shine under Erik ten Hag - but that impending appointment comes with a warning. Ajax expect the Dutch coach to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford in time for next season.
Ten Hag can win a third Eredivisie title before then, though, while Manchester Evening News understands that the 52-year-old will have the final say when it comes to summer transfers. United have set up the framework to launch a high-profile swoop for Leeds talisman Kalvin Phillips and are interested in RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku.
Outings are expected, meanwhile, as Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard are among those now into the final two months of their contracts. There has also been speculation over Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, according to Kleberson, three of those players could have a big part to play under Ten Hag. That verdict, though, does come with a warning that supporters might have to be patient to see success while the Dutch coach goes about making relevant and necessary changes.
Speaking as part of a promotion for Paddy Power, former United midfielder Kleberson said: "Erik ten Hag would represent a change in style as his teams like to have the ball and have more possession and that could help the quality players at United like Paul Pogba, Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford. They like to have the ball into feet.
"It's hard to say if ten Hag is the best option for United. He'll need to take a lot of big decisions regarding the full squad ahead of next season in terms of who is going to leave. Appointing ten Hag would be a long-term project, because it will take some time to get the players used to his style of play."
