Man Utd defender Smalling: Home form now key in title run-in

Manchester United defender Chris Smalling admits they're aiming for a 100 per cent record at Old Trafford for the remainder of the season.

There are just five more home games left - Fulham are next up on Monday night - and Smalling says victories are a must from now on.

"It's very important to win our last five home games," he told ManUtd.com. "Last season Old Trafford was a fortress and we need to make sure we get the fans right behind us. The only way we can do that is by putting on a good performance.

"Fulham are very much an established side in the league, but they have had some ups and downs this season. We got a good result when we played them away in December but they'll very much be hoping that doesn't happen again. We know we need to perform well."
