Cleverley targeting England spot at Euro 2012

After injuring his ankle against Ajax, Cleverley had to pull out of the England squad that lost to the Netherlands 3-2 on Wednesday evening. The 22-year-old is yet to make his international debut at senior level but is targeting involvement at some stage this summer. "I was talking about the Olympics with Anderson at Manchester United," Cleverley said. "He played in the last Games for Brazil and he said it was a great football tournament. Other top players have appeared in the Olympics, and to win a gold medal at Wembley would be unbelievable. To have that medal in your trophy cabinet when you have finished would be great." Cleverley is targeting a swift return to action following a recovery from his injury and insists he has enough playing time to aid Manchester United's title charge. "My priority has to be getting back into action for Manchester United and trying to make the cut for the Euros," he said. "I don't think it's too late to make a claim for an England place. It was disappointing to have to sit out the Holland game, but with Europa League matches I reckon there are around 20 games left to look forward to before the end of the season. "That's enough opportunity for me to get back playing, but more importantly for United to win another title." Cleverley admits winning the league title would attone for his lengthy spell on the sidelines this season and insists that because City are occupying top spot, United have extra motivation to retain their crown. "We have a few local lads in our team, and they are more determined because it is City we are up against, but at the end of the day the major prize is another league title," he said. "That's what you set off at the start of the season trying to win, and it doesn't matter whether you are in competition with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or City, the title is still what you want most. "If we could do that this season it would make up for all the injuries I've suffered, the bad results, everything."
