​Ex-Man Utd starlet Cleverley relishing role at Watford

Watford star Tom Cleverley has stated that he is enjoying his role as an attacking midfielder for the Hornets.

Usually a central ball playing midfielder, Cleverley has been utilised as the most offensive player in a midfield triumvirate by Watford manager Marco Silva this season and the Englishman has admitted that he is currently enjoying the role.

Cleverley said: "It is quite a different role for me, being so close to the striker, but one I am learning every week.

"The manager is helping me with that and. I am enjoying a run in the side and hopefully we can get back to performing well against Swansea.

"I like to play anywhere in the centre of midfield. In amongst it fighting for balls, that is where I like to be."
