Cleverley pleased for Man Utd goalscorers

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley was pleased for their goalscorers in victory over West Ham United.

The midfielder was in fine form himself, passing with precision throughout, and set the tone early on with a shot that forced a sprawling save out of Barclays Premier League debutant Adrian. The Hammers' keeper was later beaten by Danny Welbeck, Adnan Januzaj and substitute Ashley Young.

"It looked to be a fantastic save," Cleverley told MUTV. "Danny's goal was a great finish but he also brings pace, power and he works incredibly hard for the team. That's an area of Danny's performances which people outside the game don't see. He's a great team member and I'm happy he's getting the goals that he deserves.

"Adnan's got special potential and the fans love him. He's settled in really quickly, he's got a great attitude and a promising future ahead. The team don't want to put too much pressure on him or build him up too much, but he's got fantastic potential, a good head on him and that's a nice mixture.

"[Young's last two goals were] both absolute screamers. He's got that in his locker and I'm really pleased that he's come out of a disappointing spell and is still a massively important player for us."
