Tom Cleverley Agrees New Deal

Midfielder Tom Cleverley has agreed a new contract with Manchester United until 2019, the club have confirmed.

The English Midfielder revealed he had entered surprise talks with the club over a new deal in January when he became free to talk to other clubs with his existing contract due to run out in the summer.

Cleverley has been at United since arriving as a 12 year old in 2002 and had worked his way up to the first team in 2009, showing enough promise for an England U21 call up before making himself a regular at United and caps for the National Team followed.

Injuries and intermittent playing time interrupted progress with United and a difficult season under David Moyes and poor pre-season saw Van Gaal opt to send the young midfielder out on loan despite interest in a permanent deal from Everton.

Cleverley told the club's official site: "I'm delighted to have signed a new contract. I think it's exciting times for Manchester United, everyone can see there's more progress to be made and as a United fan I want to be a part of that"

"I came here as a 12 year old and it's been a difficult 18 months for me. I spoke with the boss at then end of the summer transfer window and he couldn't promise me game time, we both agreed that I needed to be playing week in week out to continue my development and that has happened at Villa. I've enjoyed being a regular and really feel my performances are back to a level United fans expect from a player like me."

Cleverley, 25, played a key part in United's 20th Premier League title in 2013. His partnership with Carrick offering the promise that Scholes' successor didn't need to come from an expensive signing.


Cleverley misses Saturday's match up between his loan club Villa and parent club United at Old Trafford due to League rules regarding loan moves. He will return to the club on July 1st following pre planned club holidays.
