Chris Smalling Extends

Macca?

Fantastic news. The lad is head and shoulders our best defender. Comparing him to Jones is daft. Phil Jones needs to sort himself out.

but De gea hasn't

When we mathematically get CL, if he hasn't signed soon after, then I'll definitely be worried

Dave, you dont need to use the Macca joke on every article

Mr C

Fair enough Mr C

Our best CB by far.

Superb news.
Manchester United's England defender Chris Smalling has agreed a new contract until June 2019.
The 25-year-old joined United from Fulham in 2010 and has won two Premier League titles at Old Trafford.
United boss Louis van Gaal said: "He's improved and developed immensely in the short time I have been at the club and become an integral part of the squad."
Smalling said: "This is a very exciting time, we're all determined to get back where we belong, at the highest level."
He began his career at the Millwall academy and played for non-league side Maidstone United before joining Fulham in 2008.
Having represented England at schools under-18, under-20 and under-21 levels, Smalling made his senior international debut against Bulgaria in September 2011 and has won 16 caps.
The centre-back has made 147 appearances for Manchester United since his debut against Chelsea in the Community Shield in August 2010, and his most recent goal came in the 4-2 win over rivals Manchester City this month.
Smalling added: "I am so proud to play for such a great club. We have developed as a team over the course of the season under Louis van Gaal and we are now playing as a complete unit."

Fairly solid in defence, just needs to work on his ball playing skills, ie looks bit awkward when dribbling/passing as if he's about to overrun it or fall over. Hope he can make it at United but not sure if he will.

slightly better than scheizen, good to keep him away from Barca with a long contract.
