Man Utd's Cleverley: Team GB can challenge for Olympic gold

Tom Cleverley firmly believes that the Great Britain football team has enough ability to win a medal at the 2012 Games.

The Manchester United midfielder is part of Stuart Pearce's Team GB squad and suggests that they can upset the applecart against the more-fancied sides such as Brazil, Spain and Uruguay.

"There is enough quality here," said Cleverley. "There is everything in this squad; youth, experience, enthusiasm, speed, technical ability and a good manager.

"There is no reason why we can't do well.

"It is a strong tournament but if we work hard and turn up on the day, I am sure we will be amongst the medals."
