Chris Smalling is set to snub a move to Arsenal and pen a new contract with Manchester United, according to the Evening Standard.
The England international's contract at Old Trafford expires at the end of next season, and it had been claimed that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was looking at making a move in the summer.
FORM
The Standard say that Smalling is set to be rewarded for his good form this season with a contract that reflects his newfound status as one of Manchester United's regular starters. Just this morning the Telegraph claimed that Arsenal were lining up a £12 million bid for the defender, hoping to pounce on the doubt over his future. However the Red Devils will tie him down with a long-term deal to avoid that happening as soon as possible.
SIGNING
The Gunners missed out to Manchester United when Smalling left Fulham back in 2010, and it seems the same will happen once again.
