Manchester United fans have made it clear their feelings on Tom Cleverley.They want the Central Midfielder out of Old Trafford. Mired in 7th place, their Champions League chances fading fast and no hopes left of defending their Premier League championship, United fans are doing a lot of finger pointing.
And the finger pointing is now going in the direction of Tom Cleverley. Although David Moyes is certainly getting his share too.
Take a look at the online petition to sell Tom Cleverley.

In 19 total appearances for the Red Devils this season, Tom Cleverley has one goal. For his Manchester United career, he has 66 appearances and five goals. There’s no question that midfield has been the biggest issue for United this season. Obviously, some of that is Cleverley’s fault. To make him the scapegoat though- that’s debatable.
