Yep and nothing wrong with that. Why should he go to Villa for less money when just 4 months later he could join a much better team with a much better manager and earn more money? Ofc assuming Martinez is interested.

I know players have a short career and need to look out for themselves but this guys has some balls asking for 60k a week.
Shame he doesn't show the same balls on the pitch.

Might have been wrong with, can't find anything on his current wage but from what I have is that his next renewal would bump it up to £60k.
I read he is/was on 30k
I rather prefer him to stay than we loan him to Everton.
he used to be capable of more.I think he tried to over complicate things sort of like Hernandez. Hernandez is great at what he's great at but his attempted at evening out his game was not very successful.
tom has his strength but we've never used him in a way that made the best of that. he's no world beater but he could be useful with in the right formation with the right tactics.
Like Nani, Fellaini, Anderson, etc he is another one who's wages we'll have to subsidise I expect if we want to move him on. Nobody is going to pay him the wages we are paying him and he won't want to take a pay cut - who would?
I keep forgetting we've even got Fellaini.
I heard an agent speaking recently and he was asked whether player seek advice which club would be good for them - their game time, chance of trophies, etc. His answer was, no, never, all the players are interested in is the size of the cheque.
This is ridiculous, if he doesnt take a pay cut then we should make sure he has absolute minimum playing time here. He should never be on that wage in the first place..
Meh, underwhelming.
That's the whole point of a long term contract. We are contracted to pay him until the end of his contract. I heard that he was considering whether to see out his contract and then go on a free next summer.
Hull midfield of Huddlestone, Livermore, Diame and Cleverley are not bad if they can get the last two done.
Won't be a United player by the end of the window according to Sky.
Fake account.
Don't really know what to make of this signing if it goes through. The 2 things that go in favour of it is that Martinez has worked with him before and also that I was gutted when we signed Gibson and he has been great whenever he gets himself on the pitch.
Poor guy
I bet Martinez makes a real player out of the lad. Maybe a loan wouldn't be the worst idea, even if we have to cover some of his wages. We might well get a bigger fee out of them at the end of it.
Free agent next summer.
Sky saying Villa unlikely to sign anyone now, Hull maybe then?
Edit: And now saying Villa could sign, wages a stumbling block.

If wages are a stumbling block and he's only on 30k, then no wonder we can't offload Young and Anderson. Annoying how Liverpool managed to sell Carroll and Downing though, fecking big Sam.
I imagine he wants a rise.
Delete this thread and try to forget the guy ever played for us ffs.
Based on what performances? He can't be that deluded.
Tbf, Rodwell is getting 58/60k reportedly at Sunderland. So he feels as a England international he deserves more himself too.
If he leaves, who should take his number mate?
This greedy git is just going to run his contract down and leave for nothing next summer and attempt to get a more lucrative deal. Well I tell you what sunshine you won't get the sort of money you're on here elsewhere because you're tut.
LOL The Midlands corespondent on 5Live said he wants 70-80 grand a week 
.
.My god, Paddy Power are so unfunny and attenion-craving it physically pains me.
What an idiot
If they gave him that and he didn't hit the ground running he'd get totally slaughtered.
kinell.
Hope Cleverley leaves for his own sake. Frankly I wouldnt be opposed to him going on loan for a season, just to see if he is able to rekindle some of his old potential - who knows, there could be a place at United for him after all if he did really well.
He is staying isn't he
I really don't see us offering him a new contract next year even if he does well on loan. Looking at the way woody is signing players we might get a world class cm next year leaving no space for Cleverley.
He's still our 4th best CM (or 5th counting DI maria playing deep). Him staying won't be the worse outcome though loses us financially.
Its possible, but if he does well and is happy to stay/come back to United it would save us a potential transfer fee for a squad player.
