Cleverley excited ahead of Man Utd opener

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley is looking forward to their Premier League opener with Swansea City.

Winning on the opening day doesn't guarantee a successful season - the Reds won 4-1 at Swansea last term and went on to finish seventh - but Cleverley senses an opportunity to build momentum from the off.

"We can't wait to get going against Swansea and look to put right the wrongs from last year," he told ManUtd.com. "This club has always been renowned for bouncing back from sticky patches and that's one of the reasons it's so loved around the world.

"We started against Swansea last year but away; this time it's at home and I'm sure the fans will be the same as us: raring to go. It'll be the manager's first competitive game and I'm sure it'll be a special atmosphere."
