Roma sign Smalling on loan from Man. United
The 29-year-old flew to the Italian capital on Friday to undergo a medical and finalise the move.
He will seemingly replace Kostas Manolas in the heart of the Roma defence after the Greek international joined Napoli earlier this summer.“The chance to experience a new league, with a big team that has got big aspirations is exactly what I needed.Speaking on Twitter, Smalling added: “Manchester – the club, the people, the city, has always held a special place in my heart but I still have as much desire to play regular first-team football as I did when I joined the club over nine years ago.
Smalling has spent nearly a decade at United, making 323 appearances for the club since joining from Fulham in the summer of 2010. With the likes of Victor Lindelof, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo also competing for a centre-back slot, Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the move is the best way for Smalling to guarantee regular first-team football.“This is just something that popped up towards the end [of the European transfer window] in the last couple of days.“He’ll come back better for it because it’s a big club, it’s a good league.
