Cleverley form convinces Fergie to keep him at Man Utd

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is keeping hold of Tom Cleverley this season.

This morning, Ferguson declared he has decided to keep Cleverley at Old Trafford after an impressive pre-season campaign.

The England U21 winger was wanted on-loan by Bolton Wanderers, Sunderland, Newcastle United and Wigan Athletic.

"He is an exceptional young player in terms of his ability to play a variety of positions," Sir Alex said. "He is such a talent, we must keep him.

"He showed at Watford that he's a goalscorer from midfield and we need that. He has outstanding qualities."
