Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley is anxious to avoid the tag of being injury prone.

Cleverley looked like being one of the stars of the season after making such an excellent start to the campaign. Unfortunately, the 22-year-old injured a foot at Bolton in September and was then just two games into his comeback when he hurt an ankle at Everton that ruled him out for a further three-and-a-half months.

Even then it was not the end for Cleverley's problems as he picked up another foot injury on Europa League duty against Ajax that condemned him to another fortnight on the sidelines.

Now the Bradford-raised midfielder is back and keen to play a central role in the Premier League title run-in. He told MUTV: "It has been a bit stop-start.

"I don't want to get the tag of being injury prone, I have just been a bit unlucky.

"The knock I got against Ajax was just something else compared to what I have been out for the rest of the season with. Now I am fully ready."
