They disappeared?
Easily one of the greatest day post SAF. Get the other toxic garbage out jones and young next season. Forever losers.
We've kept a bunch of B+ players or players who never reached their A potential or players who are past their prime. Perfect candidates for the Serie A
Ole himself said he has seven center-backs.
Yep, it's fantastic to have a manager that trusts in youth isn't it. Hopefully Tuanzebe, Greenwood, Gomes, Chong and Garner become either established first team players or at least get plenty of games in the cups this season.
It should have been Phil Jones. Smalling would have made for competent CB cover.
Yes, everyone is happy with Maguire and Lindelof right now but all it takes is one injury (as we saw with Shaw) for things to change very quickly. He should not be leaving.

I heard Roma is in for Lovren, I guess they're getting Mike instead.
No real problem with trimming the squad there, but feck me if there aren't 3 players more deserving of being shifted out before Smalling.
Where's these magic players they're keeping out of the team?
Who is going nuts? Other than his fan club it looks to me like we're all delighted.
Hopefully. I'm all for trusting youth but it's a 2 edged sword.
What do you do then oh wise oracle because clearly having 7 CB's at the club isn't enough for you
Nobody wants them though.
I love Italian clubs. We need to show some goodwill and offer them Jones, Darmian and Matic for free.
Had to put up with the clown for 9 years, finally a manager with the bollocks to bin him off.
Zero sentiment for any of the deadwood at our place, 90% of them robbing a living, 150k a week, will let you feel sorry for him
I feel the same but it's probably true that Smalling has the value of actually being a decent player.
Nobody but the extremely desperate would take Jones, Rojo and Darmian. Plus their wages are too high.
Well, of course it was the truth. That and the fact that he wasted his prime years at a team that couldn't consistently make the Champions League in his time here.
I will never ever in a hundred years understand this kind of attitude and language towards our players, good or bad.
The only set of players who deserve this are the likes of DiMaria and Tevez.
Smalling, Young and Jones may not be world beaters, but they deserve some respect
There’s three centre backs I would have got rid of before Smalling.
They were also sniffing around Alderweireld. guess the cheap skates wanted the cheapest option going enter Smalling
Sure. We should ship out one more midfielder. Too many of those laying around.
Whereas Smalling maybe less injury prone than Jones, he would be a massive VAR liability in the box with his tendency to use his hands / grapple every player within reach. Maybe its a tactical release to avoid penalties & free kicks, never mind his wages and the fact he probably wants more first team football.
Silver lining is Lovren is staying at Liverpool.
No, that’s not what I mean, given we have 7 centre halves and he ended last season as first choice. Now he’s out.
Calm down mate. Luckily we're keeping Jones.
Haha trust me mate I'm in a great mood, getting rid of all these loving it haha
Big Phil!!!
The problem is that his constant hoofing of the ball makes his aerial ability a necessity due to putting us under immense pressure. That goes for Young and de Gea as well, but hopefully the latter can stop doing that now that we've two comfortable CBs playing.
I'm glad that Ole's recognised this.
Poor Roma.
It's baffling that people are complaining about depth when we have 7 players for 2 positions.
No that was just before the Liverpool game. So before Ole came in
Maguire, Lindelof, Tuanzebe, Jones and Rojo is more than we need for CB, and don’t forget Bailly and Fosu-Mensah will return from injury as well sooner or later.
Letting Smalling go is irrelevant if he isn’t in the manager’s plans, but it is not enough - it is a must to also ship out one of Jones or Rojo now.

Utd fans seem to have a real problem with understanding managers that defend and talk up their players in public.
Jose lays in to Pogba and Shaw in a press conference: “scumbag, disgusting behaviour hanging out players out to dry like that, get him out the club”
Zidane says hopefully Bale will be gone from Real Madrid asap: “bald cnut, hope he fails, disgusting behaviour to treat a player like that”
Ole remains polite and talks up his players in public regarding Lingard, Sanchez, Smalling: “why doesn’t he say Lingard is shit, why doesn’t he say Smalling is finished and will never play again, why doesn’t he say Sanchez is a flop.”
Jesus fecking christ.

For now yes. Maybe they appear for a game or two then disappear again. Is this your first time knowing these two or what?
Haha love this, head scratching aint it
This entirely.
I get we have a ton of centre-backs, but I don't see how getting rid of at least our 3rd best/proven centre back is a good idea for the squad.
Obviously Solskjaer doesn't see Smalling as the future for Man United. This is probably as he's not great with his feet as well as being almost 30. I think Smalling is great a his bread and butter, winning the ball in the air defending, but it seems Solskjaer wants all his players to be comfortable on the ball. Fair play to Solskjaer and fair play to Smalling for wanting 1st team football. Good luck to him.
Thats magic!
A bit of respect would be nice.
Chris Smalling played 323 times for Manchester United, the 52nd most in History. He's appeared more for us than players such as
Vidic, Ronaldo, Stapleton, Ince, and Cole. In our current squad, only David De Gea has more appearances with 365.
He's also won 2 Premier Leagues, an FA Cup, 3 Community Shields, a Europa League and he captained us to a League Cup win in 2017.
On a personal level he' was also our Players' Player of the year in 2015-2016, and has been capped by England 31 times
