The race to sign Manchester United midfielder Kleberson is hotting up as the Brazilian is keen to leave Manchester United in an attempt to boost national team chances.

Kleberson has underlined his importance to gain regular first-team action in order to secure a place in Brazil's national side for the upcoming World Cup in Germany.

Benfica, Werder Bremen, Corinthians and new-comers Celta Vigo are all interested in the 26-year-old midfielder's services.

Kleberson stated: "I have less than one year to return the national team before the World Cup finals. "At whichever club that may be, I will get an opportunity. Here at United, there is less chance.

"Last year was my most frustrating at United. It is something we do not want to forget because we can use it as motivation.

"My agent has said there may be some possibility of a move to Benfica. But there hasn't been great demand."
