Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed he could recall Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley from his loan spell at Wigan in January.[LNB] The 21-year-old moved to the DW Stadium on a season-long loan in August but Ferguson believes he may be ready to challenge for a spot in the United team this season.[LNB]He told Inside United: "We'll probably bring Tom back in January. Tom's going to be a great footballer, I really like him.[LNB]"I've heard the fans are starting to talk about Tom, and I think they're right to do that because he could very well be the next top player to come through the ranks."[LNB]Cleverley had been expected to stay at Old Trafford this season but Ferguson had a change of heart because of the competition for places.[LNB]The United boss continued: "I felt it could be hard to give him enough football. I think five or six months on loan could really help him. He'll benefit from first-team football in the Premier League."[LNB]Cleverley, who has previously enjoyed successful loan spells with Leicester and Watford, has been limited to one Wigan appearance so far because of a knee injury.
