Man Utd midfielder Cleverley pleased to be fully fit

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley is delighted to be again fully fit.

He is determined to keep his good form going and hopes to be able to play his part in helping the team secure a first win of the campaign over Fulham at the weekend.

"After the result on Monday, Saturday's game is a big one for us and we need to bounce back," Cleverley told ManUtd.com. "Everton away is always going to be a hard game and they played very well to be fair. We've really got to get our season up and running on Saturday and pick up three points.

"Monday was very disappointing but on a personal level it was really nice to start the season again. Winning my first England cap the week before was a big landmark for me and a great way for me to begin things. I feel 100 per cent fit and really sharp and I just can't wait to get back out at Old Trafford.

"It was great to play there for Team GB at the Olympics but it was different to playing for United. For me, there is no better feeling than running out at Old Trafford to play in front of 76,000 fans. I've been at the club 11 years now and it was always my dream to play here every fortnight. I can't wait for Saturday and hopefully I can be involved and help us get the win."
