"Everyone knows me as a calm person, but there were times when my mood would go up and then others where it went down" this is how Chris Smalling described the negotiation to come back to Roma, a deal that was completed with Manchester United in the final minutes of the transfer window.
Smalling went on"I'm happy to have returned and to finally be back together. It's a huge relief for me to be here. I think everyone knew of my desire to return and the fact that it was granted, although so close to deadline, is a big relief. Now I can enjoy the fact I returned and restart with the team tomorrow".
