Roma defender Gianluca Mancini says he's enjoyed playing alongside Chris Smalling this season.

Smalling has been on-loan at Roma from Manchester United.

Mancini said, “It's been positive.

"It's true that I've made some mistakes in the second part of the season, but it's all part of my development and therefore I'm trying to improve myself, not repeating the same mistakes.

“Having Smalling next to me is very helpful, he gives me advice and helps me improve. I listen to him because he has great experience and I have to take something from his game."
