Roma's former sporting director has highlighted Manchester United's questionable approach in the transfer market after revealing how they were left bewildered by how easy it was to land Chris Smalling.
Gianluca Petrachi, who has since left his role having arrived last summer in the Italian capital, was behind the move to sign the former England defender from Old Trafford in a loan move worth £3million in 2019.
Despite being surplus to requirements under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, he proved a key component to the Italian side's defence that finished fifth in Serie A last term.
