'I was left in a very sh*t situation' - Smalling opens up on Man Utd exit

 


The 30-year-old Roma defender was deemed surplus to requirements at Old Trafford but was only told as much late in the window

Chris Smalling says he was shocked at the way Manchester United handled his departure from the club.


The 30-year-old joined Serie A giants Roma on a permanent transfer this summer after a successful loan spell last season, when he was deemed surplus to requirements following the signing of Harry Maguire.


Smalling says he was only told late in the window that he wouldn’t be needed at Old Trafford – a decision which left him in "a sh*t situation".
