Tom Cleverley due to begin contract talks with Manchester United?

Manchester United are reportedly keen to tie midfielder Tom Cleverley down to a new contract following his impressive start to the season.

The 23-year-old, who was plagued by injury problems in United's previous campaign, initially signed a fresh deal last season, which takes him up to 2015.

Despite only recently penning a new contract, it is believed that the Red Devils are willing to offer the England international an improved deal worth £60,000 a week, according to Goal.com.

Cleverley, who is thought to be preparing for discussions this week, netted his first Premier League goal for the former English champions in their 3-0 win over Newcastle United earlier this month.
