Rather him than Lingard as a squad player.
What happened to Tom Cleverley? | Retires due to injury

That was one of his best performances I've seen. Good day for him today. One touch, pass, move. Good stuff.
This place is a joke these days. One of the best young forwards in the world is a fraud apparently
It is just a constant cesspool of shite.As someone who liked him, he was rarely that decent unfortunately. He just shrank under pressure.I must admit that I don’t remember anything about Cleverley as a player, so I went on YouTube and found this:
Looks decent against strong opposition
That was a brilliant game, though. That was one of three games where Carrick, Cleverley and Rooney formed an excellent trio in midfield. The other two games were away to Chelsea (another classic 3-2 victory!) & at home to Arsenal in which RvP faced Arsenal for the first time and scored.
All 3 wins were early in the season and vital in us gaining a substantial lead at the top.
He only went and scored again!Same!
I think he scored a winner vs them either last season or the season before
The hate Cleverley always got was disappointing. I'm not talking about those who were calling him rubbish and wanting him sold; he got some real vile stuff said his way a lot. He had to close his Twitter account due to the abuse.
Modern fan I'm afraid.
Unfortunately, the word "supporter" seems to be going out of fashion.
He won't play like this again all season.
Must have seen this thread bumped on the Caf
Genuinely is there a difference between him and Andreas?...
Yeah he’s 30 and he won’t really improve from where he is right now.
Andreas has the exact same flaws and comments made in his performance threads for the past 5 years.
In terms of quality. I don't see Andreas getting any better either.
Why are people talking about Pereira in the Cleverley thread?
Need to moan about something related to the club.
Reading last two pages you would think you are in Pereira's performance thread.
People hate him?
Anyhow, I remember thinking he looked an amazing prospect during his loan spell with Watford when he got into double figures for goals. Then when he was on loan at Wigan he looked like he was ready to play a part for us. He started brightly with us but over time - not sure whether he suffered with confidence issues - his form completely deserted him. There was simply no way we could have kept him as he just wasn’t good enough. He’s shown the odd glimpse here and there since he left us but nothing consistent.
That’s one opinion for sure.
Didn’t realise Andreas has been in the United side for 5 years to be fair.
Good old Cleverley
He was a good squad player, had some important performances but never really managed to build on his early promise. After that he seemed to be a decent premier league player but he has had quite a bit of bad luck with injuries.
One of many victims of SAF's retirement.
God, one game where he plays out of skin, an unsual performance in many ways and history is already being rewritten by folks on the caf...god.
Dory mode enabled, i love it.
Calling him an OK player is hardly rewriting history. If anything, I think calling him a "coward" because he's ultimately not good enough for United and not particularly creative is a bit silly.
He still looks like he's 20. If he had a face like Pirlo we'd be calling him world class.
We'll not really but he wouldn't look 20.

End of an era. I imagine he will go back to Spain now
How about you put some respect on his name, which is #clevzinasia
Shame for him. He’s had a pretty solid career in the game, all in all.
The United Podcast had a good interview with him recently... The Moyes season broke him.
Wish him all the best in the future. Hope he’s a success in whatever he moves on to.
Every time I hear his name, I think of Roy Keane trying to climb over bushes to beat him up.
300 prem games - around 15 games for England and a few trophies.
What a great career. Well done Tom.

I remember thinking him and Jack Wilshere would be Englands midfield for a decade
Not one of my better takes
Not one of my better takes
I will never forgive Kevin Davies for ruining him.
Had a decent career and above all is a PL winner. Good luck to him post retirement.
The Clenderson midfield pairing will never be replicated.
Decent career overall. After his stint at Everton he could have slipped away into obscurity like so many players who can't cope after failing to make it at the top level, but he had a solid spell at Watford. Under a genius like SAF he was able to play a squad role in a title winning season for us, bit ridiculous to ridicule a player for only reaching that level.
Strange timing as I randomly googled him 2 days ago
It's like he knew
