"Man Utd" does not extend Sanchez and Smalling's rental contracts © JumpStory

Alexis Sanchez and Chris Smalling probably will not compete in the final stages of the Europa League for their current teams - "Roma" and "Inter". "Manchester United" seeks to receive full amounts from the clubs for the players' transfers. Both A. Sanchez and C. Smalling were leased to the Italian teams for just one year, and the contracts expired already in June. However, later the contracts were extended until the first week of August so that the footballers could finish the season in Italy. "Man Utd" also does not want to extend the players' leases because the "Red Devils" could possibly face "Roma" in the Europa League semi-finals, and the possible opponent in the final could be the team from Milan - "Inter". Smalling has scored 2 goals in 34 matches while representing "Roma", and the club wants to sign a permanent contract with the 30-year-old player.
