Cleverley keen to avoid "injury prone" tag

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley has said that he is keen to avoid being tagged as "injury prone".

The 22-year-old injured his foot against Bolton Wanderers in September and suffered two more injuries as he tried to make a comeback.

"It has been a bit stop-start," Cleverley told MUTV.

"I don't want to get the tag of being injury prone, I have just been a bit unlucky.

"The knock I got against Ajax was just something else compared to what I have been out for the rest of the season with. Now I am fully ready."

Cleverley made an impressive start to the season and was hoping to make it into England's Euro 2012 squad in the summer. However, with his lack of appearances this season, he may miss out.

He is expected to be in the squad against Blackburn on Monday night.
