Solskjaer hints Smalling could stay at Man Utd following Roma return

Chris Smalling could play for Manchester United next season after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer left the door open for the defender to stay at the club.

The centre-back impressed during his season-long loan spell at Roma and admitted he was “gutted” to be leaving the club before they had finished their Europa League campaign.

The terms of Smalling’s loan meant his time in Italy - which was extended to allow him to complete the Serie A campaign - ended before the resumption of the knockout stages in the Europa League.
