Middlesbro want Smith

Alan Smith is wanted by Middlesbrough. The Man Utd striker could be deemed surplus to requirements particularly after the arrivals of Anderson and Nani. The impending arrival of Carlos Tevez is likely to cast further doubt over Smith's future.

Alan Smith had hoped to push Louis Saha and Wayne Rooney for a starting place next year, but it is likely that Smith will need to leave the club to get any sort of first team action.
