Man Utd defender Smalling happy playing for former Fulham boss Hodgson

Manchester United defender Chris Smalling is happy playing for England coach Roy Hodgson.

Hodgson signed Smalling for Fulham from non-league Maidstone United.

"He was very much the one who gave me my chance at Fulham," Smalling said. "I do have a good relationship with him and it's nice to go away with England and see someone I worked with before. It's just about making sure I work hard and play here to get my chance with England."
