agreed.
Yeah lets give him a pay rise and make it even harder to sell.
This. Considering how Gibson is no longer here, it's not too much asked for the club to get rid of another piece of deadwood instead of giving in to the demands from that whiny little tool.
Valencia and Nani had a new deal and a pay rise
Now it's the Cleverley turn
I think the Glazers and Woody are Liverpool fans.

Well, he was the captain for our glorious victory against Roma, so he obviously deserves a pay raise.
He needs to be sold. We simply have too many midfielders and Cleverley does not cut it. The only problem is, would any club in the world want to buy him? What does he offer apart from the experience of being first choice in our title winning season?
Erm, yes?
Some of you in this thread are hideous.
We should be looking to get rid and not to raise his pay to 70k. No way he gets that sort of cash at any other club in the land. Lets go sign Classie and give him 30k a week then, he'd do no worse. What's Danny Guthrie up to nowadays?
He may not be world class, but there would be plenty of clubs he'd be a 1st choice CM for. He may not stand out at United but he's still a competent player.
Forgive me if I am mistaken but is it not LVG who says whether or not we offer a player a new contract? I guess we can add him to the long list of twat professional managers who keep Cleverley just to piss us off.
Probably the same lot who were abusing him on twitter.
The point is he would still not get 70k a week at another club. Ross Barkley just got a new deal worth 60k a week at Everton. So even the club he is linked with wouldn't give him that kind of money. Give him an extension, but not a pay rise.
Give him an extension for all I care, but the lad has done absolutely nothing to warrant a pay rise.
Its DailyMail, probably just nonsense. I mean who would give a payrise to a player who has been underperforming for the past 2 years? We will probably give him an extension so as not to lose him on a free and he is still a decent footballer. Lets not forget he is 25 and can be a good squad player. I certainly rate him above Fletcher and Fellaini but it would be baffling if we were to hand him a payrise.
Last season we gave Nani a 5-year deal for god knows what reason. We followed that by giving Valencia another deal this season although LVG himself has claimed we lack quality wingers implying that Valencia isn't of the required standard. What on earth were we thinking about giving a 29 year old has been winger a contract extension when he clearly won't cut it defensively at full/wing back. It's just befuddling. We might as well have let him leave on a free given that he is 29 and has minimal resale value and bought a specialist right back as cover for Rafael. The least we could have done was to wait till LVG assessed him before handing him out that deal. I am guessing LVG probably sanctioned it on account of Giggs's word without seeing him play at close quarters... We seriously need to be more suave when it comes to transfer and contract negotiations.

Let the contract run out or sell him this summer. Did feck all to deserve the extension, same as Valencia.
70K a week. Get to feck.
Don't see why anyone is rushing in here to criticise. He's been fine.
This sums him up
Just when you thought he couldn't get worse.....how this guy is playing for a club like United is beyond me. Same can be said about a few players in the squad but this guy is a joke.
He really hasn't.
Saw some of you arguing his tendency to exaggerate his movements when passing is just style and doesn't hinder him.
Well, the world could see he was going to pass that ball to Young when Buckley counter-attacked, due to just that.
Also: What a spineless performance. Nothing player. Should go to a side where it's accepted to go into hiding when playing CM.

He's been better than Fletcher in the first half and still nowhere near good enough. That sums it up pretty much IMO.
Looks traumatised. Easy passes. Scared to do anything hard. It's sad to see him reduced to this.
Would love to see his pass chart. What do people reckon the % of forward, side and backpasses he has made?
Terrible half for him.
Words fail me.
Words fail me.
He and Fletcher are woeful. Absolutely woeful.
He's been like this since his partnership with Anderson where he took on the responsibility of just keeping the ball, while Anderson tried more things and gave it away more.
At the time I commended Cleverley for doing that because the last thing we needed was 2 central midfielders giving the ball away all the time and it showed some maturity. But he's never improved on it since then, despite playing with players less prone to giving the ball away and less attacking than Anderson.
He has improved defensively. He's won a few tackles today as well, but gave away a silly dangerous freekick as well
Hope the rumours are true we are flogging him out on loan
It's cringeworthy watching him play for us and to think we had Pogba lol it's not even funny how pish he is.
Better than Fletcher.
He's been what he always is, a cowardly little shite.
Forget his play style of beg for ball, shits himself when he gets it, gives it back and then runs away. What annoys me is his apparent lack of self criticism. There have been interviews of him saying he thinks he shouldn't be the scapegoat, his style of play would be appreciated in other countries or whatever. He seems to think he's a great midfielder and it's everyone else's fault.
Proper rubbish in't he? Sad. I thought he would turn out a good'un.
"fine" performances like this don't win you games.
Who is going to buy that guy? He won't leave for a lesser wage and we were stupid enough to give him a contract.
Love how he passes backwards and the runs into where he can't get it
