Former Man United midfielder Tom Cleverley retires at the age of 33

Former Manchester United and England midfielder Tom Cleverley has announced his retirement from football at the age of 33 due to injuries.

He started his career at Man United and also played for Leicester, Aston Villa, Wigan and Everton. Cleverley was part of the United side that won the Premier League in 2012/13.

Cleverley most recently played for Watford. His last season was plagued by injuries as he missed 29 games for Watford, who finished 11th in the Championship standings.

Cleverley had surgery on an Achilles injury at the beginning of last season before sustaining a thigh injury in February.

"Today, I am announcing my retirement from football as a player. The last year has been immensely difficult trying to overcome the obstacles of injury," Cleverley said in a statement.

"Unfortunately, my body has failed me and just hasn't got the capacity to perform anymore."

Cleverley played 79 games for the Old Trafford club before moving on.

What a man.
