THE Manchester United loanee has earned fourteen appearances since arriving at WD18 and currently has six goals to his name, making him the club's joint top scorer with striker Danny Graham.

Recently, the Basingstoke-born player has been working fantastically with fellow Premiership loanee Henri Lansbury.

"All our goals keep setting off from each other" said the forward.

"There's not really any rivalry between us. We're just linking up well at the moment, but there's probably a bit of rivalry between me and Danny Graham now as we're both on six goals!

"We all look to score in a match, but it's the three points that count at the end of the day and we work together for that and don't think about ourselves."

After a second consecutive home win last Saturday, Cleverley said that the team have now started a run that they mean to continue.

"Results like that send a message out to the league that Watford are up there and in the mix.

"If we can get a good result next Saturday (21 November) against Scunthorpe then there's much more to come from us.

"If we can keep performing how we have been at home, we can make Vicarage Road a bit of a fortress."

Cleverley has been very impressed with Watford's boss Malky Mackay's first season in senior management with some great work on and off the pitch.

"I love training with Malky" said the Manchester United youngster.

"We work on attacking play so it's not a fluke that we play like that on a Saturday.

"I think everyone is pleased with the way we're playing under Malky."

The quick trickster revealed his feelings ahead of what could be considered one of the biggest games in his career so far; when he steps out with the England U21s against Portugal at Wembley tomorrow (Saturday).

"It's every lads dream to play at Wembley and I've only ever been to the stadium twice to watch games so I can't wait."

"We have a training session there before, then the Portugal match tomorrow.

"My house at the moment is only 15 minutes away from Wembley so I don't have far to go!"
