United has completed the signing of defender Chris Smalling on a 4 year deal worth £12 million. This deal is bringing to belief that Nemanja Vidic will be leaving in the summer. Ferguson is refusing to answer to such claims, although, with Johnny Evans already established as back-up to Vidic and Rio Ferdinand, something’s got to give if Smalling is to make any true contribution during his debut season.

“Chris is an extremely talented young defender, who we have been monitoring for some months”, said Ferguson. “He is very quick and reads the game well. He will be a great asset to the club, playing alongside some of the best defenders around and we are delighted to have secured his signature.”

Smalling has gone far for such a young age, and is very grateful for the chance in playing for United, and with his elite performances on the field, United should be lucky to have him.
