Cleverley's main downfall is that whilst he can be a very good distributer of the ball, he doesn't seem to be able to dominate a match in the way the very best midfielders can. He will never be able to dicate the pace of a game the same way for example that Scholes or Xavi have been able to. Having said that Cleverley is relatively young and can still improve.
I'd say that's the one thing which, at the moment, he definitely can do. I agree with those above saying he doesn't have the cutting creative edge at the moment (although I think that would change given time, the run in the team which he deserves, and a team not in near-complete disarray), but his control of a match's tempo is his best quality at the moment.
