Crocked United star Chris Smalling left a bar at 3.15am today singing: “We’re Man United - we’ll do what we want!”

As his team-mates were tucked up in bed and getting some rest ahead of another crunch game, the 24-year-old defender was spotted coming out of a bar in Manchester’s Spinningfield district early on Saturday.

He showed no sign of the hamstring injury which has ruled him out for a month as he ran a short distance before getting a taxi, according to an eye-witness.

The player, who had clearly enjoyed his night, had been out with four friends including his brother.

Pictures show him with his arms outstretched as he and his pals sang one of United fans’ favourite songs: “We’ll do what we want. We’ll do what we want. We’re Man United. We’ll do what we want.”

His team-mates headed down to London on Friday to prepare for their Premier League match against West Ham tonight.

The eye-witness told the MEN: “He’d obviously had a great night with his mates. They were singing football songs.”

Earlier this week it was revealed he had suffered a hamstring injury and could be out of action for up to a month.

In January, Smalling apologised for his ‘insensitive’ decision to appear as a suicide bomber at a fancy-dress party.

He said at the time he was trying to make fun of the popular Jagerbomb drink by strapping bottles of Jagermeister and Red Bull to his body.

He had been pictured wearing an army-style vest decorated with booze bottles, a mock circuit board with cables attached as he wore what appeared to be an Arab head dress.

See what fans thought Smalling and the rest of the Reds squad were worth paying in wages last month.
