Best of luck, Tom. Unfortunate that it didn't work out here.
Making way for Vidal 23?
He'll be great at Villa. Be like Gibson here, loads of lads thought he was championship quality but he's a cracking young player when he's on his game. Playing week in week out will be great for him.
Good luck lad.
Good luck lad.
That ... sort of reinforces my point further, no?
People are happy to see him go because he is nowhere near good enough to play for United not because of £9m. He might have a good career elsewhere and I wish him well but he's been poor for a while and seeing him in the team wasn't really pleasant lately. We'll be better off without him and he'll be better off at a club with less pressure.
Get the shit meme's off this thread please. Alonso is about to turn 33 let's not act like we've done well to get more for TC.
I guess so
9m is a good bit of business when his contract is up next year.
This. Did well to get almost £10m and thrilled to not see him get a new contract which was supposedly around £55k a week according to twitter two weeks ago.
9 million for Cleverly. Not bad from Ed, much better dealings this summer than the last one. Hopefully getting rid of a midfielder will confirm that another midfielder is on their way (Vidal?).
Big statement.
Best of luck Tom and hope he realises some of his early potential at Villa.

The right move for him I feel. He is not as bad as he has looked over the last two seasons but he is also not a top team quality player so this move should be a good one for him.
Start of the 11/12 season was great but since then he's not been good enough.
Good move for all parties really.
We have to be buying at least one midfielder now though - two with any luck.

But I thought "Cleverley was the kind of player who will excel under Van Gaal's tutelage and I could see him coming good", what happened to that nonsense? Spackers.
Just wished we had sold Anders, Nani and Zaha as well instead of sending them on loan.
Weren't those his own words? He could be LVG's man?
Sad the way his games gone. Maybe it went to his head and got found out but it's for the best. We have talent in reserve and the possibility to bring in more quality. Untimately passing sideways wasn't part of LVG's thinking. I'm sure he'll come good again but his times run out.
I still think he can be a good player. In two minds on this one, would love to have seen him progress at Utd.
He was clearly talented and had much more potential than he has shown in the last 2 years
We've performed a fecking miracle to not have to pay someone to take the lump of shite off our hands.
Take care, Cleverley, have a nice career there.
Pah. Underconfidence my ass. I only need to take the Sunderland game as example that he was way too comfortable with himself. If you're under-confident and playing for United - what do you do? You take the opportunity you are given to gain that confidence. In the Summer he said that he believes he's "LVG's type of player". Oh really Tom? Then fecking show it then. You don't just go back into a shell and play the same way he's been doing for years by offering nothing to our midfield.
I mentioned that he did well on his loan, and I was very impressed by that. I also said he started off brightly. Maybe this was all his honeymoon period at the club where everything was rosey. Some people have long honeymoon periods, others only have a few matches like Macheda.
He was nervous before Moyes. It's absolute bollocks over the Moyes-bashing. He's to blame for stuff, but not fecking everything. It's pathetic. He's never been a creative player, and neither has he been a player who offers a drive in midfield.
Yes I do have a problem with that. David Beckham 7, CR7, Ferdinand's #5. You don't do it when you've just broken the first team. It says a lot that as soon as he became comfortable of being part of United's first team, he decides it's a good time to bring out a clothing brand. Who thinks it's a good idea for a 20/21 year old footballer to be distracted with a clothing brand? It's pathetic. You can think it's not a big deal, but it's ridiculous.
I hate seeing a Youth product fail, but he's the one that's annoyed me the most. He gives half-arsed performances, and hasn't taken advantages of the chances he's received. Sunderland was the last straw for me. It was the game that portrayed that he has no defining qualities what so ever, and that he really isn't close to being United quality. I'm still fuming with how he stopped running when Buckley had the ball. I've mentioned it about 5 times now, and I know I sound like a broken record but I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. A player who labels himself a "LVG player", gets given a chance and then stops tracking back during an important stage of the game.
Defend him all you want, heck you're already defending him better than how he defends. But I'm glad he's going.
Villa owe us for Young.
Hope it comes off for him. Villa are exactly the level I would put him at and wouldn't be surprised if he does really well there. Playing every week with no pressure will be ideal for him. Good luck....just sign on the dotted line eh!
Imagine we finish below Villa 
I think that comment was made by him on like the 2nd or 3rd pre-season game iirc, however quotes like the one I said were by spouted by some people here immediately LVG took over.
Decent player and nowhere near as bad as some United fans say he is.
However, the website and celebrity girlfriend was too much for me. I realize he can do what he wants but fame hores really piss me off. Especially when you haven't really proved anything.

Shame he never developed as we hoped him to, but best of luck with Villa, Tom! Always liked Villa and hopefully he has a good career.
They can have him back as well. £15m for the pair of them and I ll be happy.
swear to god, do we need to send aston villa a message from the fans? thanking them for services to manchester united? i mean? 9 million pounds... thats highstreet robbery.
There's no hate involved in being happy that a player who is pretty terrible gets sold. I don't hate the guy, I wish him the best. But I'm absolutely delighted that we've seen sense with regards to his situation.
Another one of those players that looked great in reserves but could not step up.
Good luck to him. I think that working with Keane can help him a lot, either Keano will kill him or make him man the feck up.
I still think he had something to offer here.
But 9m isn't a bad fee for someone who isn't a first team player and likely never will be. Hopefully the money will go towards a new CM/DM. Good Luck Tom, sorry some of the fan here were such cnuts towards you.

Absolutely. Good luck Tom!
I am just showing you how dumb these people are. No thought into what they tweet.
Good luck to him!
Good business by the club. It's obvious he isn't at the level we need him to be at and likely never will be. £9million is a good sum and should mean we get more than that for any other senior player we sell bar maybe Anderson.
He'll do better in a side where he can take a few more risks without being scrutinized whenever something doesn't come off. Hell, he's bashed here if he passes to a team mate and it wasn't forwards.

I think there was a rumour about him signing a new contract recently?
Sorry if it was already discussed, I'm not up to date with his siutation.
Anyway, good fee, I'm sure he will be a good player eventually, just no chance that he will make it here.
Another good news is that we're signing a midfielder.

As much as he isn't the quality of player we require selling midfielders when we are so bare is a concern. Hopefully the club have something up their sleeve.
