Man Utd fans SLAM Tom Cleverley on Twitter after comments on Louis Van Gaal
MANCHESTER UNITED fans have taken to Twitter to slam Tom Cleverley after he claimed he is Louis Van Gaal's 'type of player'.
Cleverley has fallen out of favour at Old Trafford over the last season, receiving vast criticism for his performances under former boss David Moyes.
But the England international, who missed out on a place in the World Cup squad, believes he has what it takes to impress new boss Van Gaal.
And the 24-year-old's comments seem to struck a chord with the United faithful, who have made their feelings abundantly clear in reponse to a tweet from the Red Devils' official account.
@ManUtd Nah you're a Scunthorpe FC type of player

I watched the Netherlands in the World Cup and I think I’m going to be his type of player
"I watched the manager’s Netherlands team in the World Cup and from that I think I’m going to be his type of player," Cleverly said at a press conference on Friday.
"I have to show that in training and most importantly games. I think there’s a place for me but I have to prove it.
"I managed to have a good break and recharge my batteries, now we’re back and all trying to impress the boss."
