Victory over Stoke came as two goals in as many minutes early in the second half from Edo Kayembe and Ryan Andrews set up a straightforward win, with Kayembe adding another later on.
Cleverley said: "We didn't have the ideal pre-season results-wise but I'm glad the lads still believed in the process, in all the principles we are trying to coach.
"That belief has been rewarded in the last week or so.
"It's three wins out of three and now it is time to rest, recuperate and really double down on the standards because that's what separates winning teams from just good teams. It's not celebration mode now, but we feel a sense of reward."
