Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakawhiwhia e Bryan Robson he mihi nui ki a Chris Smalling mā te whakataurite i ana mahi o nā tata nei ki a Paul McGrath me Gary Pallister. E rima tau i muri i tana hainatanga mo United, kaore ano a Smalling kia whakapono ki nga kaiwhaiwhai United he pai ia me Phil Jones hei whakakapi mo te wa roa mo Nemanja Vidic me Rio Ferdinand, i wehe atu i Old Trafford i te raumati kua hipa i muri i nga mahi roa me te rongonui. He torutoru nga tawai a te kaitakaro 25 tau, ko te mea whakamutunga i te whakataetae Manchester i te marama o Noema i te wa i tukuna atu ai ia i te meneti 39. Ko te kaitautoko o Manchester United a Chris Smalling (pokapū) kua whakamiharo ki a Bryan Robson i nga wiki kua hipa.

I noho humarie a Smalling i a Harry Kane i te Rātapu kua hipa, ā, i haere whakamua atu te tangata o mua o Fulham, e haere whakamua ana me te pōro i tōna waewae i ētahi wā.
