Manchester United defender Chris Smalling refuses to be unsettled by rumours of a new centre-back signing this summer.
The battle for places in the United manager's defence is being played out against a background of constant talk of big summer signings like Borussia Dortmund's German World Cup winner Mats Hummels..
Smalling said: "At the moment I'm just focused on the competition that is here.
"There are enough centre-backs to compete with so hopefully I've given the manager something to think about. If you miss a few games like I did it can be tough to get back in."
