Ferguson insists the duo will ‘get plenty of games next season’. Cleverley has impressed while on loan at Wigan while Welbeck has shined on loan for Sunderland this season.
“They will come back into the first-team squad and they will get plenty of games next season,” Ferguson told Manchester United’s official website when asked about Cleverley, Welbeck and Federico Macheda.
“They are part of the band of young players coming through at this club. They will all come back in,” the boss continued. “At that point, we will then review our squad because that’s the important thing. But we will always put players out on loan.
“Cleverley has done very well, particularly in his spell at Watford and then at Wigan. He has improved in each case and he is going to be a top player.
“Welbeck has been fantastic too, it’s just unfortunate that he picked up a bad injury. But they will all be ready for next year.”
Ferguson has also revealed that Senegalese striker Mame Biram Diouf will return from his loan with Blackburn.
“Mame Diouf has done well at Blackburn too and he’ll come back in,” added Sir Alex. “They’ve all done well.
“It proves we were right in putting them there in the first place. For them, it’s that experience of being exposed to regular football that really brings them on so that they are ready to play for Manchester United.”
