Chris Smalling believes opposition teams will not be able to live with Manchester United if the Reds can reproduce the same tempo shown in Saturday's 4-1 win over Premier League champions Leicester City.
Smalling opened the scoring against the Foxes with a towering header after just 22 minutes, before further goals from Juan Mata, Marcus Rashford and a first senior goal from Paul Pogba effectively put the game to bed before the break.
The 26-year-old defender feels the impressive first period is something his side should try to repeat as the quest for consistency continues.
