Chris Smalling, Phil Jones have 'long-term injuries' - Jose Mourinho

This is a modal window.

Paul Mariner believes AC Milan youngster Gianluigi Donnarumma should be Man United's primary target in the summer window.

Manchester United defenders Chris Smalling and Phil Jones suffered "long-term injuries" while on duty with England, Jose Mourinho has said.

Smalling, 27, withdrew from the England squad with an undisclosed injury and was later photographed wearing a leg brace.

Jones also pulled out of the England squad after damaging his toe in a training ground challenge with Smalling, meaning Eric Bailly and Marcos Rojo are likely to start in central defence against West Brom on Saturday.
