Kleberson has sealed a move to Besiktas following his arrival in the Turkey where he and the club agreed personal terms and passed a medical.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has reiterated his intentions to stay at Old Trafford despite tempting links to La Liga giants Barcelona and Real

ManUtdWeb first reported Kleberson had landed in Turkey and was paraded in a Besiktas shirt and today the 26-year-old expressed his delight about securing his move that will ensure him regular first-team football.

"Today I have come from one big club - Manchester United - to another big club so I am very happy," he stated.

Corinthians and Celta Vigo failed to agree personal terms with the World Cup winner while Benfica were reluctant to be forced into a bidding war. However, Basiktas have pulled off a fantastic coup.

Thanks for 2 Brazilliant injury-plagued years at Old Trafford, Kleb.

Good luck.
