Cleverley joined Everton on a free transfer from United in July 2015 and maded 30 appearances in his first season under then manager Roberto Martinez.
But the 27-year-old has struggled to make an impact at Everton this season following the arrival of Ronald Koeman as manager, making just four starts in the Premier League.
And Koeman allowed Cleverley to move on shortly after completing the signing of Morgan Schneiderlin from Manchester United.
