Wigan Sign Tom Cleverley On Loan

Tom Clev­er­ley

Manchester United mid­fielder Tom Clev­er­ley will now be given the chance to gain some valu­able Premier League exper­i­ence as Wigan Ath­letic man­ager Rober­rto Mar­tinez has signed him on a sea­son long loan deal on trans­fer dead­line day. After impress­ing in Manchester United’s pre-season games this sum­mer, man­ager Sir Alex Fer­guson wanted the prom­ising mid­field dynamo to join a club in the Premier League to fur­ther his development.

Hav­ing pre­vi­ously had suc­cess­ful loan spells with Leicester City and Wat­ford, Clev­er­ley is regarded by many expert com­ment­at­ors as an out­stand­ing model pro­fes­sional. Accord­ing to Wigan Ath­letic boss Roberto Mar­tinez, Tom Clev­er­ley is a very excit­ing young foot­baller who can play in a num­ber of pos­i­tions. Mar­tinez has been watch­ing Clev­er­ley for some time and the man­ager feels the Manchester United star­let is the right sort of player to join the Wigan squad. Tom Clev­er­ley went on to make his debut for the Eng­land U21 side when he came on as sub­sti­tute in a 2–1 win away to Mace­do­nia in Septem­ber 2009.

Tom Clev­er­ley joined Manchester United as a trainee in the sum­mer of 2003.
