United have accepted a bid from Aston Villa for Tom Cleverley.

 

Manchester United have accepted a bid, understood to be in the region of £8m, from Aston Villa this afternoon Sky Sports understands.

The 25-year-old, who has one year left on his contract, also has interest from Hull City and Everton.

Cleverley's advisers held talks with United earlier this month over a new contract and expected an offer to follow. However, with United tied up on trying to sign new additions and Louis van Gaal clearly not happy with some of the players at his disposal United will listen to offers.

Everton have a long-held interest in Cleverley and are understood to be the player's preferred destination should he leave.

United are reluctant to sell their players to any rivals with plenty of interest in Danny Welbeck also.

United have received two offers for striker Javier Hernandez from Juventus and Valencia while winger Wilfried Zaha has joined Crystal Palace on loan and Shinji Kagawa is attracting interest from Dortmund, Valencia, Inter Milan and Juventus.
