Manchester United defender Chris Smalling is happy for the club to be back inside the top three.

Smalling struck twice in victory over Burnley in midweek.

"I think it's great to be up there, ahead of the others, as opposed to having games in hand that you have to win in order to climb the table," Smalling told ManUtd.com after full-time.

"We did the job, but if you can win when you're not playing too well, it's a good sign."
