The only thing I don't like about Smalling is his hair - Mourinho

The defender is in no danger of getting the chop after his Watford performance, but his manager is certainly not a fan of his hair

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has been impressed with Chris Smalling's recent form, though he is not keen on the centre-back's new haircut.

Smalling scored what proved to be the winning goal in Saturday's 2-1 triumph at Watford, ending the hosts' 100 per cent start to the season, even if late pressure meant it was a close shave for United.

Aside from the goal, the defender's display was impressive, as he dealt with Troy Deeney particularly effectively at Vicarage Road, proving to be a cut above the opposition.
