Smith unsure of Man Utd future

Alan Smith admits he's unsure of his future at Manchester United.

The England striker told The Sun: "If they are going to sell me, I'd like to know. But I won't find out unless I get to speak to the manager.

"If you're no longer wanted, then you have to consider your options."

Smith, signed for £7million from Leeds three years ago, added: "If the manager tells me he wants me, I'm there for him. If he says he doesn't, it's time to move on.

"He didn't say anything to me at the end of the season. We played the FA Cup final, went home the next day and that was it."

Smith finished the season on a high, after being out for more than a year with a broken leg and ankle.

He helped United to the title and was recalled to the England squad. But he does not want to spend next season on the bench.

Smith admitted: "I want to be out there from the start."

Everton, Middlesbrough, Spurs, Aston Villa and Rangers are after him.
