The season before the Arsenal game, Tom Cleverley was on loan at Wigan Athletic, and just about helped the club stay in the Premier League.

In 2011 though, following Paul Scholes’ retirement, Cleverley became the main man for United in the midfield, and impressed in what just his fourth match for the club in the win over the Gunners.

Injuries disrupted his first full season at United, but he played more frequently in 2012/13 and 2013/14, but fell down the pecking order when David Moyes took charge, and he was allowed to go on loan to Aston Villa for the 2014/15 campaign.

Cleverley left United for good in 2015 and signed for Moyes’ former employers Everton, and the former England international can now be seen marshalling the Toffees midfield with Gareth Barry and Idrissa Gueye.
