Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley is reportedly due to become a father for the first time with his girlfriend Georgina Dorsett.

The 23-year-old, who could be facing a spell on the sidelines with a calf injury, has been dating Dorsett, formerly a cast member of reality show The Only Way Is Essex, for seven months.

"Tom and Georgina are totally made up," The Sun quotes a friend of the couple as saying. "They fell head over heels in love and can't wait to start a family. Tom's been getting pats on the back from Wayne Rooney and his pals in the Man United dressing room."

Cleverley is five years younger than his former reality TV star girlfriend.
