Man Utd v Dinamo Bucuresti: Preview
PA
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is hoping a little bit of Brazilian magic will propel the club into the group stages of the Champions League.
Kleberson will make his first start of the season on Wednesday when Dinamo Bucharest visit Old Trafford after recovering from a knee injury.
He suffered the setback playing for Brazil in the Copa America and was ruled out of the opening games of the campaign.
It has been a difficult time for the World Cup winner, who made only 10 league starts last season following his £5.5million move from Paramaense.
But Ferguson is banking on the 25-year-old midfielder to make an impact in the coming months starting at Old Trafford.
"He has trained well and is looking good," said the United boss. "We will give him a go.
"In my experience it takes South Americans longer to settle here. I think that is the case with Kleberson.
"He was also travelling back to Brazil for matches and that was difficult for him. It was not as if he was popping down to London.
"But there are a lot of good things about him. He is a very mobile player, quick and two-footed. He is also a very good professional.
"He has a desire to play like all Brazilians. The physical side of our game does not bother him."
Ferguson confirmed that Darren Fletcher will start as well as Kleberson with the Scotland midfielder free from suspension.
Cristiano Ronaldo aims to build on the four-minute run-out he had in the victory against Norwich while Quinton Fortune (thigh) could also come into the frame with United holding a 2-1 advantage.
However Louis Saha is likely to be pencilled in for the game against Blackburn on Saturday following a knee injury.
Ferguson knows there is a lot of hard work ahead if they are to secure a place in the draw on Thursday.
Dinamo took the lead in Romania and he said: "The first goal was a good example of the counter-attack. They showed great quickness.
"European football is all about guarding against the counter-attack. It is a danger sign and we must eradicate that.
"With our experience we have to make sure we get control of the game...as long as we are not careless.
"That's always a danger. The players always want to go forward. It is human nature.
"We want to be in the next stage. We need to get to that stage.
"We don't need any warnings. Football in itself is a warning."
Meanwhile Ferguson's fears about the fitness of defender Gabriel Heinze appear to be unfounded.
The new recruit was in the Argentina line-up that faced Italy tonight in the Olympic semi-final after reportedly picking a hip problem.
Ferguson said: "We had heard about a possible injury then I get a note from the Argentina FA this morning asking Heinze to report for the World Cup qualifiers in September. Thank you!
"We will see him sometime...I hope."
