Man Utd's Chris Smalling: Where we must be come the end of January
CHRIS SMALLING has challenged Manchester United to be breathing down the neck of the Premier League leaders come the end of January.
Chris Smalling insists United must start to string together some results soon
Arsenal are currently atop of the table, with the Red Devils nine points back in sixth place.
Louis van Gaal's men have been routinely criticised for their style of play this season, and they are without a win in their past eight games in all competitions.
The Premier League is proving to be one of the most unpredictable in years, and Smalling thinks there is no reason why United can't close the gap on leaders soon.
