Kleberson has been pictured parading in a Besiktas jersey, confirming rumours the Manchester United midfielder is set to join the Turkish outfit next week.

The picture comes from Besiktas' official website, indicating Kleberson has finally lost patience as a Red Devil and is eager for first-team football. The 26-year-old has made just 30 appearances in 2 injury-plagued years at Old Trafford.

Kleberson's exit, along with Phil Neville's £3 million transfer to Everton last week, revives speculation Sir Alex Ferguson is pursuing Bayern Munich's midfield general Michael Ballack.

Celta Vigo, Benfica and Corinthians have all made bids for the World Cup winner, but the lure of playing with fellow countryman Ailton in Turkey has made his decision final.

The fee is believed to be in the region of £3 million.
