Chris Smalling: Man Utd defender signs new contract to 2022
Manchester United defender Chris Smalling has signed a new contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until June 2022, with the option to extend for a further year.
The 29-year-old England centre-back joined from Fulham in 2010 and has made 307 appearances for the club.
"This is my ninth season and I am delighted to be continuing my progression with this team," he said.
"We're all now concentrating on the busy period."
United boss Jose Mourinho 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."
Smalling's previous deal with the Premier League club had been due to expire in June 2019.
以前の契約では ２０１９年 ６月終了となっていたので
とりあえず フリーでの移籍は 回避できた模様。
昨シーズンは スモーリングが 一番怪我が少なく 活躍したと思われるので
また 今は CBの怪我人が多いので
スモと契約延長できて 良かったと思います、＾＾
もう スモも ２９歳、２０１０年 フルハムからやってきて すでに ３０７試合 出場。
リオとビダのコンビが頑張りすぎたので 次のCBが育たなかったツケが今頃回ってきています。
