Manchester United defender Chris Smalling is enjoying his spell at centre-half.
Smalling has shone in recent weeks as United have surged up the table.
"I love that as a centre-back," he enthused to manutd.com. "I always have been a defender growing up and it's just a case, first and foremost, to not let the attacker get a sniff. You must be tight and aggressive and give them the odd kick if you have to, and it is what I enjoy.
"The other side is getting to play out nice passes from the back and watch the team do well. But, ultimately, I must make sure we're preventing goals and stopping strikers and that's something I always enjoy, which is why I play in that position."
