Man Utd's Cleverley: I used to pretend to be Giggs in back garden!

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley admits he used to try being Ryan Giggs in his back garden growing up!

So long has Giggs been going, team-mate Cleverley cannot remember how young he was when he first became aware of the Welshman, who boasts a record 12 Premier League title medals.

"I can't remember exactly how old I was," Cleverley said. "But I remember pretending to be Ryan in the back garden."
