Watford have extended the loan of Manchester United youngster Tom Cleverley until the end of the season.

Cleverley has impressed for the Hornets since joining in August and the midfielder has scored six goals in 13 Championship appearances.

He was due to stay at Vicarage Road until January, but the England Under 21 international will see out the campaign with Malky Mackay's side.

Mackay told the club's official website: "I'm delighted to have secured Tom's services until the end of the season.

"The business was once again conducted in a correct and professional manner with Tom, his representative and Manchester United.

"Sometimes it can take time for a player to settle in, but, Tom has hit the ground running.

"That is down to Tom's hard work ethic, his desire and professionalism. It also a reflection upon the club he has come from, while the coaches here have had a big part to play as well since his arrival."

The 20-year-old has recently expressed his belief that he is capable of playing in the Premier League for United and he impressed in pre-season for the champions.
