Former Manchester United midfielder Kleberson believes that Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison would fit Erik ten Hag's style of play perfectly.
United are on the lookout for a striker in the summer as a permanent replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, who left in November. MEN Sport understands that the Reds are looking at Spurs' captain Harry Kane and Napoli's Victor Osimhen to fulfill that role.
However, Kleberson has told OLBG that Kane's 25-year-old teammate has the work rate needed to fit in with Ten Hag's system and even suggested that Richarlison should have moved to Old Trafford when he left Everton. He explained: "I'd really like to see Richarlison play for Man United.

"He's the kind of striker that could help United a lot. Especially with teams pressing, he can do a low block, he can put pressure on the centre-back and he can get inside the box.
"He's played in the Premier League for many years, he understands the rules and he's a really hard-working player. As Man United get more structure and consistency, winning more games, I think Richarlison is a player who could do a lot for the club.
"When Richarlison was at Everton, I think he should have gone to Manchester United instead of Tottenham. It could have been different.
"Now he doesn't play much and he doesn't get many opportunities. He's competing with guys at Tottenham who are amazing players.
"He's on the bench, but he's competing with these big players. As a club, sometimes you need to take a risk because he's not a bad player, he's an amazing player.
"He plays for Brazil's national team, he just needs game time and some confidence from the coach and the team. I believe he could easily do an amazing job for United."
Richarlison has yet to score for Spurs in the Premier League this campaign but did manage to score twice in the Champions League for the North London club. He also enjoyed a positive World Cup, scoring three times before Brazil were knocked out by Croatia in the quarter-finals.
