Kansas City Wizards v Manchester United- Pre-Season Tour

Even the MUTV commentators think Smalling is suffering from nerves.

It's obvious to anyone that Smallings lack of experience in football, and diffident nature, was going to mean a rough start to his career at United. And hopefully in a season or two it will be worth it. But I do have to wonder if we can afford to blood a player like that when we also have raw players like Rafael to integrate into the team. A more experienced player might have been a better option in the short/medium term.
 
Hey at least we're keeping possession now. If the ref sends off one more we can even create some chances.
