“It is a real honour to play for Manchester United and we are all now concentrating on the busy schedule of games throughout the festive period.”

He said: “I am very happy Chris has signed a new contract. Chris has been with the club for a number of years and is now one of the senior players within our squad.”

“It’s a great feeling to know that the manager and the club back me and I just want to repay them with many more games and good performances,” Smalling told MUTV.

“When I first signed, I never envisaged that I would stay for his long a time and it’s great to be able to last this long at a club and to try and help them.”
