Watford midfielder Tom Cleverley has spoken of being dumped by Manchester United.

The 30-year-old came through the Red Devils academy and was at the club for 15 years before signing for Everton.

Cleverley, who now plays for Watford, told BBC Radio 5 Live: "Louis van Gaal sat me down and said 'I'm signing Daley Blind, the opportunities are going to be limited'.

"The hard part for me though was the year under [David] Moyes. The way the fans turned on you.

"That was my club you know. I had been there since I was 11-years-old. For the fans to go as sour as they did.

"That disappointed me. I was a player who would try 100 per cent a game. It wasn't fact of trying I just wasn't good enough that year.

"That was the thing that disappointed me but the actual leaving I didn't have a problem with, no."
