In 2019, after falling out of favour under Solskjaer, Smalling was loaned out to Serie A side AS Roma, who he signed for permanently in 2020. A consistent player at the back, Smalling was criticised by United fans towards the end of his career at the club for his occasional lack of defensive awareness.ĭespite this, United fans will look back on his career with them fondly, in particular his goal against fierce rivals Manchester City in a 3-2 comeback win in 2018 to stop City winning the title at the Etihad against United. Smalling joined United from Fulham in 2010 and went on to make 206 appearances for the club. Recently, Pogba has looked more settled after United’s strong run under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and rumours of him receiving a new contract soon have been circulating. Since returning, like many other clubs’ record signings, he has divided opinion about whether his price tag was deserved, and his agent Mino Raiola has often created bother for United managers by speaking about his desire to leave the club.
Cementing his role as one of Juventus’ key midfielders over his four seasons at the club, United bought him back for a club-record £89million in 2016.
