Manchester United are pricing Chris Smalling out of a permanent move to AS Roma.

Il Messaggero says Roma are pursuing other options as they are unable to meet United's valuation for Smalling.

United are unwilling to budge on their €25million valuation of the former England international.

As a result, Roma are considering alternatives including Jan Vertonghen.

Tottenham defender Vertonghen is off contract at the end of this season - so leaving Roma the chance to snap him up for nothing.
