Fans see red at transfer

ALAN SMITH will join Manchester United for £7million tomorrow in one of the most controversial transfers ever completed.

Less than three weeks after he was carried shoulder high around Elland Road by Leeds fans who hailed him a hero, the 23-year-old England international will become the first new face in what is likely to be a summer of change at Old Trafford.

Official confirmation of Smith's move, which is expected to see young United full-back Danny Pugh head in the opposite direction, will not be made to the Stock Exchange until the player has completed his medical on Wednesday.
