Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley has reportedly held talks with Aston Villa assistant boss Roy Keane today about a possible move to the Midlands.

The England international is said to have attracted interest from Villa, Everton, Hull City and Valencia this summer after failing to make a significant impact at Old Trafford.

According to the Daily Mail, former United player Keane spoke to Cleverley today in a bid to convince him to move to Villa Park in order to play regular first-team football.

Reports have claimed that the 25-year-old would prefer to sign for another club on loan for the remainder of the season and then leave United for free next summer.
