Manchester United’s Chris Smalling tried out his football skills on a shuttlecock on the banks of the Hoan Kiem Lake on Thursday.
As the center-back for the team most popular among football crazy Vietnamese fans, Smalling was mobbed by fans and the press on his arrival.
Smalling, 28, who chose his non-selection in the England World Cup 2018 squad to take a vacation with his wife, visited Thailand before coming to Vietnam.
Here are some images of his trip to Vietnam:

His wife, model Sam Cooke, traveled along and also shared many images of them discovering the streets of Hanoi, riding bikes through the outer villages and enjoying the rustic atmosphere.
