Michael Jamie Clegg (born July 3, 1977 in Ashton-under-Lyne ) is a retired English football player . The defender spent most of his career at Manchester United .
Career
Clegg joined the English top club Manchester United in 1993 as a young player and won the FA Youth Cup with the youth team in 1995 under captain Phil Neville . A short time later, the defensive talent signed his first professional contract with Manchester. He made his debut in the Premier League on November 23, 1996, when he was on the starting line-up against Middlesbrough FC at Riverside Stadium in front of 30,000 spectators (final score 2-2).
In 1997, he won the Denzil Haroun Reserve Team Player of the Year award for the club's best reserve player. Clegg did not succeed in the ensuing period, however, to assert himself in the first team and so he was loaned to Ipswich Town for a month in February 2000 and from March to the end of the 1999/2000 season at Wigan Athletic . By his departure in 2002, Clegg had only made nine league appearances for United in seven years, and he made a total of 24 competitive appearances for the first team.
From 2002 to 2004 Clegg played in the English third division at Oldham Athletic before ending his playing career at the age of 27.
Private
Clegg now works as a fitness trainer at Sunderland AFC . He also runs a gym in Manchester. His father Mike Clegg worked as a conditioning coach at Manchester United between 2000 and 2011.
