Cleverley was a target of criticism from a number of
United fans for his perceived mediocre
performances last season, whilst his appearances
for England were largely also greeted with derision,
but the former Wigan Athletic and Leicester City
loanee is keen to put that behind him during a
season at Villa Park:
"You don’t turn into a bad player just because
someone says it on Twitter. I probably wasn’t the
only United player to get it last year. For as long as
Man United aren’t winning trophies, players will get
criticised. I’m fully aware of that.
I’ve still got a
league title, 13 England caps."
The product of the United academy had looked like
an exciting young player when he first broke into the
United set-up after returning from an excellent loan
spell with Roberto Martinez at Wigan Athletic, but
has always struggled to win over the club's
supporters, many of whom have criticised his low-
risk passing strategy.
Having been told by manager Louis van Gaal that
playing time would be limited at Old Trafford this
season, Cleverley managed to secure a loan move
to Villa, with Premier League rivals Everton also
believed to have been interested in the England
international.
