One player
who is sure to be ecstatic about starting a new chapter in his career is
25-year-old Tom Cleverley, after becoming a scapegoat for the fans last season at
Manchester United his loan move to Aston Villa is sure to be a welcome relief.
No longer a
part of the English International setup Cleverley has had a tough year, he even
was subject to an online petition not to be on the plane to Brazil, a petition
that had reached 17500 signatures.
Tom
Cleverley was no stranger to criticism but surely this took its toll on the
young man, the last year has undoubtedly been confidence sapping but with a new
club comes a new start and Cleverley will be hoping that on this occasion the
grass will be greener on the other side.
Cleverley
has racked up a total of thirteen international appearances, these are no
flukes Cleverley earned these caps, Cleverley has the potential to be a strong
Premier League midfielder and will be hoping he can recreate the form he showed
during his loan spell at Wigan in 2010/11, where he was an integral member at
the team, at Aston Villa.
Aston Villa
is, with all due respect, a smaller club than Manchester United and the
pressure Tom Cleverley will be under will be considerably lower maybe suiting
the loanee.
Under the
guidance of Paul Lambert and assistant manager and former United great Roy
Keane, Cleverley could blossom into the man who was once seen as the ideal
replacement for Paul Scholes.
At Villa
Cleverley should expect to start the majority of games and starting this
week-end at Anfield he might even stake a claim to be re-included in the
England international squad and who knows maybe this time there will be a
petition for him to be included in the squad, stranger things have happened.
