Manchester United defender Chris Smalling admits he could've been lining up for Arsenal today.
The England centre-half, 25, was an Arsenal target when he joined United from Fulham for £11million five years ago.
Smalling, United's stand-out player so far this season, said: “That seems a long time ago but there was interest from Arsenal.
“But I'm happy to be where I am now. This year I've definitely got more consistency.
“It's something I needed to add to my game."
