Former Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley has officially been announced as the new Plymouth Argyle manager just months after being sacked by Watford.

The 35-year-old has signed a three-year deal with the club following their relegation from the Championship to League One.

Cleverley was most recently head coach of Championship side Watford, who he took to a 14th-place finish in his first full season in charge, before leaving in May.

Plymouth will be hoping to go right back up the Championship at the first time of asking after 46 points from their 46 games last season.

The fans will also be hopeful Cleverley works out better than the last former United player who took charge, Wayne Rooney.
