Manchester, July 2 (US): Former Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley has announced his retirement from football at the age of 33, citing long-term injuries.
Reuters reports that the former England international recently captained Watford, joining the Championship side on loan from United during the 2009-10 season.
Cleverley made 181 appearances, scored 19 goals and scored 15 assists during his six-and-a-half-year spell at Watford after joining from Everton on loan for the second time and making the move permanent in 2017.
His final season was plagued by injuries and he missed 29 matches with Watford, who finished 11th in the Championship standings.
Cleverley underwent surgery on an Achilles tendon injury that kept him out for a long time at the start of last season before suffering a thigh injury in February.
