Kleberson Makes Reserve Debut
Kleberson made his first ever appearance in a Manchester United shirt on Wednesday night, but the World Cup winner could not prevent the United reserves going down 2-0 against Blackburn Rovers.

Kleberson's performance overall was quite disappointing, and the 982 in attendance at Altrincham's Moss Lane ground saw more action from his midfield partner Neil Wood than the £6million man.

The player himself was pleased to get into action for United, although he seemed to show more enthusiasm in his post-match interview than he did on the pitch.

"It's been very good for me to come out and join the group and pull on the red shirt," said Kleberson.

"I am absolutely delighted, and am looking forward to playing for the first team."

Sir Alex Ferguson was at the game, and would have had a close-eye on Gary Neville, who has spent the last few weeks out with injury. He, like Kleberson, played for 60 minutes of the game, coming through with few troubles.

As for the game itself, Ciaran Donnelly and Egil Ostenstad were on target for the visitors, with both goals coming in the second-half.
