om Cleverley: Aston Villa await approval for loan of Man Utd player

Aston Villa are awaiting Premier League approval in order to complete the signing of Manchester
United midfielder Tom Cleverley on loan until January.
The deal was struck late on transfer deadline day on Monday and must be sanctioned by the
league's board.
Cleverley, 25, came through United's academy system and signed a four-year contract in October
2011.
But he has played only one of their four games this season and has not been included in the latest
England squad.
United's new manager Louis van Gaal, who is trying to revive a side who recorded their lowest
league finish since 1990 last season, is willing to let the midfielder leave Old Trafford.
Cleverley, who has made 79 appearances for United, was also linked with a move to Everton.
He was on standby for the 2014 World Cup but did not make Roy Hodgson's final 23-man squad.
Cleverley was also omitted from the squad for an international friendly against Norway on
Wednesday and a Euro 2016 qualifier against Switzerland next Monday.
