Cleverley joined Villa on a loan deal the Premier League sanctioned after the deadline. Everton were not given the option, and Martínez believes his team’s rise above United last season influenced the thinking at Old Trafford.
...
He added there were “different reasons” why the Cleverley deal did not materialise but remains a firm admirer of a player he had on loan at Wigan Athletic. The England international can sign for Villa permanently in January or explore his options as a free agent when his United contract expires next summer. Martínez refused to be drawn on whether he would make a renewed attempt to sign Cleverley.
He said: “It’s impossible for me to say what will happen in 10 months. I can’t say we are going to be after him. We’ve got two or three young players at Everton who might come through and take their opportunity – Liam Walsh, Ryan Ledson, Kieran Dowell – and they would fit into the squad. “I will always be interested in Tom in terms of the experiences I had with him. I think Tom is going to be one of the best midfielders in the England camp but 10 months in football is an eternity. Anything could happen in that time.”
