6. Tom Cleverley (Manchester United)
A lot of people talk about Tom Cleverley as a very promising youngster and the next Paul Scholes and so on, but he’s nearly 24 and making very little progress. The Manchester United midfielder only managed two goals and two assists all season, a far cry from what Scholes was doing at that age, and it’s a worrying sign for England that he’s been such a regular fixture in their team over the last year or so. Injuries have perhaps derailed his career slightly, but time is running out for Cleverley to prove he’s a player with any serious potential for playing at such a top club.
