The ex-Red Devil acknowledges that the Belgian might be granted more time on the pitch elsewhere, but is still hoping he decides to stay in Manchester
Romelu Lukaku leaving Manchester United this summer would be a huge loss for the club, according to Kleberson, but the former Red Devils midfielder "understands" why he is considering a move.
World Cup winner Kleberson, who played for the Red Devils between 2003 and 2005, sympathises with Lukaku's current plight but also insists his old club can ill-afford to lose such a "great player".
“If Romelu Lukaku is to leave the club, it will be a big loss for Manchester United," the Brazilian told us-bookies.com
"I’m a big fan of Lukaku, he’s a great player. When you think about coaching, everyone wants to take him, he is a very good player to have in the squad. Whether he starts games or is on the bench, he will always help the team to score goals. If he starts up top, you can play off him and help the midfield and other forwards to score more goals.
"He can also drift out wide and cause problems for defenders there, he killed Brazil in the game at the World Cup from doing this and he’s very unpredictable. "I understand if Lukaku wants to leave and play more games. He didn’t start too many games for Man Utd last season. Strikers survive on goals and statistics, it’s tough. The season changed so quickly for him, if players prepare mentally in the pre-season, he may find his feet again. I hope he decides to stay at Manchester United for one more year and proves his worth."

I think selling Lukaku will cement a new era under Ole. It shows that we are going to bring in a hungry, talented, and young side that develop as a team and Lukaku leaving will not only clear the path for Greenwood in the first team but will also free up funds to sign more players like a third, less expensive, striker option

don't get all the fuzz about people saying Lukaku is still young. at what age do you expect him to mature he's in his prime now

AT THE MOMENT we currently have 10 attacker's just for the front three . Staring -MARTIAL - RASHFORD - JAMES SUBS - CHONG -GREENWOOD -MATA - SANCHEZ- LUKAKU- LINGARD -GOMEZ who can play anywhere in front . so now keeping LUKAKU AND SANCHEZ is a waste we have hungry talent on the bench ...passion players and young too ..look at those names part of our team so many HOMEGROWN boys waiting to make their mark under OLE ... so yeah the res can be history ...
