Tom Cleverley's Twitter Q&A session went as well as one would have hoped...

Much-maligned midfielder joined Aston Villa on loan for the rest of the season

Tom Cleverely endured a season of seemingly non-stop abuse last term, as he, alongside David Moyes, bore the brunt of Manchester United supporters frustrations as they rapidly fell from grace after Sir Alex Ferguson's departure.

Cleverely left to join Aston Villa on a season-long loan for the remainder of the season last week, but those critics are not going away anytime soon.

The midfielder took part in a Twitter Q&A session today, and, just like recent entries by fellow players Jesus Navas, Gareth Barry and Darron Gibson, the session certainly did not go to plan.

The opening gambit...

"Fire away" they did...

Cleverley is expected to make his Villa debut in the Premier League match at Liverpool on Saturday.
