Arsenal hero Martin Keown praised Chris Smalling's performance for Manchester United in defeat at Champions League opponents Bayern Munich.
Keown wrote in the Daily Mail: "I was very impressed with Chris Smalling, there now looks to be a future for him at centre-half; which is a positive from an England point of view. It was a big call by David Moyes to play Smalling in place of Rio Ferdinand but it worked.
"He looked dominant in the air - and beat Thomas Muller to a commanding header early on - and also coped well in one-on-ones with Franck Ribery when dragged to the wing. He was mobile and used the ball well."
