Manchester United on Tuesday announced the England defender had signed a new deal keeping him at Old Trafford until at least 2019.
Smalling was linked with Arsenal over the past few months, but the centre-back’s new deal has put at end to speculation over a possible move to the Emirates.
The 25-year-old has put in a series of solid performances during United’s recent good run of form, a complete turnaround from the start of the season where he was highly criticised.
Despite his rapid improvement, Gunners fans rejoiced on Twitter after news came through of Smalling’s new deal with United.
Some Arsenal fans said it was time to “celebrate”, while others breathed a sigh of relief after avoiding signing a “flop”.
Check out the reaction below:
We can’t buy Smalling anymore. Celebrate #afc
