Man Utd Transfers: 10 Flops Who Must Follow David Moyes Out Of Old Trafford
4. Tom Cleverley
Tom Cleverley was not so long ago spoken of as "the next Paul Scholes". But it is fair to say that those lofty predictions have not been realised. Cleverley only has 14 months remaining on his current contract and, having managed just a single goal all season, faces big questions about his Manchester United future after being dropped from the side for their previous three outings. His last appearance was against Man City at the end of March, as a 45-minute cameo, and he has found himself on the fringes ever since, with the fact he has managed 1 goal and 0 assists in 17 starts for the club this term perhaps a big reason why. Many observers have actually begun wondering what it is Cleverley actually contributes to the United side, pointing out that he carries little attacking threat and is equally anonymous in his defensive duties, with Opta Stats showing he makes but 2.69 tackles per 90 minutes. Despite this, Arsenal have been linked with a move for the out-of-favour Englishman - much to the dissatisfaction of Arsenal supporters. United fans though might be glad to see the back of him after three average years at the club.
