Manchester United should sell wantaway star Paul Pogba, according to former midfielder Kleberson.
Pogba is eyeing a move away from United, with the France World Cup winner linked to LaLiga giants Real Madrid and a return to Serie A champions Juventus.
The 26-year-old – who arrived at Old Trafford in an £89million deal in 2016 – is in Australia for the start of United s pre-season tour.
Kleberson spent two underwhelming years in Manchester after winning the World Cup with Brazil in 2002 and the 40-year-old believes the time is right for United to cash in.

It is the right move to sell Paul Pogba, he s a great player and his talent is unbelievable, Kleberson told Manchester Evening News via YourPromotionalCodes. But his style is a little bit different, and not particularly what Man United need.
He could use this opportunity now to leave and get a fresh start, play in a different atmosphere, and embrace a new challenge.
Sometimes it s hard to come to Manchester United and adapt to play a particular style. It doesn t mean he s not a good player with great quality. There s a lot of criticism around the players, sometimes it doesn t always go well.
You work hard, you want to perform for the team, but some things go wrong, and these can be out of your control.
Kleberson added: He could use this opportunity now to leave and get a fresh start, play in a different atmosphere, and embrace a new challenge.
Paul Pogba had played a lot more games, more opportunities than me when I was at Man United.
I had many injuries in the time when I was there. He s played well since being there but not to the level we should expect from him. When he plays for France, we see it, he was a massive part of them winning the World Cup. He s the heartbeat of the France team.
