I may be wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that Cleverly was now in the last year of his contract so will be available on a free transfer at the end of the season

mulliganohare I think you’re right. United were in the process of offering him a new contract in summer. That doesn’t seem to have come around, but for some reason Villa can make an offer of around £7m for him in January if he impresses in the next few months. If he does, Everton will probably go back in for him as well.
Here’s hoping he does very well there, as he’s much better than many seemed to give him credit for, though maybe not up to the very top level.
