Man Utd winger Cleverley ready for U21 Euro playoff

Manchester United winger Tom Cleverley is ready for England U21's playoff against Romania tomorrow night.

Cleverley is hoping that an England victory against Romania this week can perhaps be the springboard to bigger and better things for a few of his colleagues.

The on-loan Wigan Athletic midfielder told the Wigan Evening Post: "It's obviously different to the Premier League, but it's still a very good, very standard.

"The players are not inexperienced but they obviously haven't got as much experience as your average Premier League players.

"The talent is there, though. I could reel off 10 or 15 players who are genuine top-class players in their own right.

"We've all seen what the German side did last time, and we want to be there next summer and try and follow in their footsteps.

"If we can do that, then hopefully seven or eight of us can make it into the full England squad for the next World Cup. We're quite confident of progressing. We have a very squad and we're in good form."
