da bet7k： Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley is taking his career progression in his stride and has maintained that he is the same player that played for Wigan last season.
da jogodeouro： The 22-year-old has started all of the Premier League champions’ first three matches this term, and has been called up to Fabio Capello’s England squad for the Euro 2012 qualifying fixtures against Bulgaria and Wales.
Despite this, the Basingstoke born man is not getting carried away, and keeping his feet on the ground.
“Although I feel I improved in pre-season, I am still the same player and the same guy. Just because I am playing in United’s first team, that doesn’t all of a sudden make me a great footballer,” he told The Guardian.
“It is a bit strange when people are talking about you but in my head I am still the same footballer who was sent out on loan to Wigan last year. The only difference is that I am turning out for Manchester United now.”
Sir Alex Ferguson has added a number of younger players to his squad over the summer, and Cleverley has confirmed that the more inexperienced men in the team are keen to follow in the footsteps of United sides of the past.
“Nobody wants to get too carried away, but this is a youthful squad and it is exciting to be part of it.
“Some of us younger lads don’t know what it is like to win the Premier League yet but that is where the experience of others comes into it. A few older players left the club in the summer but we have still got experience in abundance,” he concluded.
