The Manchester United defender has been named in the starting line-up for all nine of the club's Premier League matches thus far and has been hailed by the ex-Gibraltar star
Former Manchester United man Danny Higginbotham believes Chris Smalling has developed into one of England's best central defenders over the last year.
"Smalling has been outstanding," the ex-Gibraltar international told Omnisport. "It was towards the end of last season where he really started to get better."
Smalling has become a key player for United and has been named in the starting line-up for all nine of their Premier League matches so far in 2015-16.
