Man Utd defender Smalling amazed by big game experience already racked up

Manchester United defender Chris Smalling admits he's surprised by the amount of games he's played in his first season at Old Trafford.

There were errors in Smalling's contribution to Wednesday's Champions League semi-final triumph over Schalke, his 31st appearance of the season, but not many.

"It's never ending," he said as he laughed.

"To get this experience so early in my career is immense.

"Hopefully, I will be able to sit down in about three weeks time, having won two massive trophies and look back on it all, knowing I still have a major tournament with the England Under-21s to come.

"It has been a season to savour without a doubt and I am enjoying every minute."
