United Updates

Manchester United defender Chris Smalling has defended David de Gea after the goalkeeper's errors in the first two matches of the season. West Brom's Shane Long and Manchester City's Edin Dzeko both scored after De Gea was slow to get down to low shots. "Some of the media has been a bit judgmental based on the first couple of games," said Smalling. "He has trained really well this week. You can see his agility and kicking. He will be a great goalkeeper for us." United signed De Gea from Atletico Madrid in June, in a deal thought to be worth £18.9m, after his predecessor Edwin van der Sar retired at the end of last season.

If you think footballers such as Wayne Rooney who always seem serious and aggressive don't have a lighter side to them then you have got it completely wrong. Manchester United stars show their lighter side a put up with all sorts of gimmickry in this airline safety commercial.
