Manchester United defender Chris Smalling says he's happy with his move to Roma.

Smalling is on-loan at Roma to the end of the season.

He told Forbes: “I'm really enjoying Italian football and I think it does suit my game. Hopefully come May I can say I've had a good season, the team's had a good season and it's been a great success.

“There aren't too many English players that venture abroad. You are starting to see younger players going abroad on loan and having great success, but I think it's a shame that more people aren't venturing out.

“I think having the opportunity to experience Serie A at a big club like Roma was too good to turn down."
