Tom Cleverley: 'We can challenge for a medal'

Tom Cleverley has insisted that the Team GB football team have enough quality to challenge for a medal at the Olympics.

Stuart Pearce's side begin their campaign against Senegal at Old Trafford tomorrow and Cleverley is confident that his teammates will prove they are candidates for a medal.

The Manchester United midfielder said: "There is everything in this squad; youth, experience, enthusiasm, speed, technical ability and a good manager. There is no reason why we can't do well.

"It is a strong tournament but if we work hard and turn up on the day, I am sure we will be amongst the medals."

Uruguay and the United Arab Emirates are the other two nations in Team GB's group.
