Kleberson has warned that Harry Maguire will endure a few 'tough moments' when playing for Manchester United this season because 'his pace is not the best'.
United flop Kleberson believes that although Maguire shone against Chelsea on his debut for the club that tougher tests await him further into the season.
Maguire became the most expensive defender in the history of football when he officially joined United from Leicester last week.
The England international has been put under a lot of scrutiny following his £80m in the summer transfer window, and Kleberson thinks Maguire's mobility could be an issue in the upcoming season.
“Harry Maguire is a big name for any English club,” Kleberson told Your-promotional-code.
“In the World Cup he did a good job, but he’s going to have a few tough moments in one on one’s and his pace is not the best.
“United need to ensure he’s helped by a strong midfield, to help cover him and defend as a unit.
“I don’t know if he will manage to cover on his own like at times against Chelsea.
“Maguire has moved for a lot of money but I think the defenders aren’t as good in the league as they were a few years ago, therefore teams need to pay more.
“With Maguire and [Victor] Lindelof, I don’t know if [Chris] Smalling and [Phil] Jones need to leave but of course their opportunities to play will be a bit less.
“Especially as the new defenders have played very well in their first opportunity.”
