Chris Smalling signs for Serie A side Roma

The centre-back was signed by Sir Alex Ferguson in 2010 from Fulham, and went on to make 323 appearances for the club, scoring 18 goals.

Smalling won the Premier League title in his very first season, 2010/11, and again in 2012/13. He also claimed the FA Cup (2015/16), the League Cup (2016/17) and the UEFA Europa League (2016/17) during his time with us, and started in all three of the finals that led to those triumphs.

His debut came in the Charity Shield of 2010 – a 3-1 win over Chelsea – and Smalling made 33 first-team appearances in his maiden campaign, as the Reds sealed a record-breaking 19th title.
