Midfielder excited by partnership

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley has revealed he is relishing the chance to play with new singing Shinji Kagawa.

The United youth product has become a crucial part of Sir Alex Ferguson's squad over the last couple of season's and has been tipped to be one of the brightest prospects in English football. Cleverley has spoken highly of the Japanese international and feels that they have forged a good understanding that could help United win the title back from rivals Manchester City. The youngster who represented team GB in the Olympic football this summer believes that their similar pass-and-move styles make for a natural understanding. The England international suffered with injury problems last term which kept him out for a sustained period of time but he hopes to get a good run behind him this time round. "I've really enjoyed playing with Shinji," said Tom "He's really on my wavelength when it comes to playing one and two-touch football."
