Wigan boss Martinez fears big performance from Man Utd's Cleverley

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez is wary of facing Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley tomorrow.

Cleverley enjoyed a successful season-long loan at the Latics in 2010-11.

And boss Martinez said: "Tom will want to be better in the next game.

"You judge players not by the chances they miss but whether they are prepared to go back into those situations to get a scoring opportunity again.

"I guarantee Tom will get into those positions time and time again.

"He's a tremendous example of the future of English football.

"Tom's mature beyond his years and he can play in many positions."
