„Manchester United“ defender Chris Smalling insists that there is no need to be happy with the fourth place in the „Premier“ league and says that the team will aim for trophies next season.
After a 1-1 draw on Sunday with London's „Arsenal“, the „Red Devils“ chances of clinching bronze are very slim, so they will have to play in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.
However, compared to last season, when „United“ finished seventh, securing the fourth position is a big step forward.
„This is not the season that we are very happy about. This is a step forward“, - Smalling said. „We know that next year we and our amazing fans will want more”.
„Let's hope that next season we will have something to celebrate and we can have a parade“.
„I think during the season we started to play better, but „Chelsea“ brought the title due to their consistency from the first day. Sometimes they didn't play well, but still secured victories. They dug in deep in matches like this one against „Arsenal“.
„They probably would have won 1-0. Next season we need to start properly and stay consistent throughout the entire year“.
