Tom Cleverley names the player he was 'jealous' of during his Manchester United career

Former Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley has admitted that he was "jealous" of how good former team-mate Paul Scholes was during his career.

Cleverley, now at Watford, rose through the youth ranks at Old Trafford, becoming a first-team regular, before joining Everton in 2015. During his seven years as a first-team player at United, the midfielder was fortunate enough to play with some of the Reds' most famous players of all-time.

The likes of Edwin van der Sar, Ryan Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Scholes all played alongside Cleverley, teaching him unrivalled qualities from a very young age. However, he left United, joining the Toffees seven years ago to secure more regular first-team football.
