Aston Villa and Hull City have made bids of around £9 million for Tom Cleverley, the Manchester United and England midfielder.

United are willing to listen to offers for Cleverley in addition to a raft of other players before the transfer window closes on Monday as Louis van Gaal, the manager, tries to overhaul his squad.
