Cleverley: "Carrick should have more caps"
Manchester United’s Tom Cleverley
Cleverley has reported for duty ahead of the Three Lions' rematch with Euro 2012 conquerors Italy on Wednesday, just as he did 12 months ago when Holland were the opposition.
On that occasion, the London riots scuppered his hopes of making his senior debut.
The injuries that wrecked Cleverley's season struck shortly afterwards, meaning he will head to Berne this week still looking to make his first international appearance.
Carrick is keen to kick on too after ending his self-imposed England exile, and his United team-mate believes the quality of his fellow midfielder cannot be called into question.
"Michael is a fantastic player, one of the best I'll ever play with," said Cleverley.
"This country must have had some good midfielders if he's only won 22 caps.
"Sometimes you need to see it first-hand with Michael to realise how good he is.
"A lot of clubs have those players who are massively important but go under the radar a bit."
