"Man Utd" refused to rent out C. Smalling

Although "Manchester United" shook the transfer market by acquiring midfielder Harry Maguire from "Leicester City" for about 80 million pounds, the "Red Devils" decided not to loan out their long-time player Chris Smalling.

"Sky Sports" reported that the 29-year-old Englishman was wanted in the ranks of Liverpool's "Everton" team, but the offer was rejected.

It is reported that the team's coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did not want to let go of the experienced defender, as he has assigned him an important role in the team alongside Victor Lindelof and H. Maguire.

C. Smalling's contract with "Man Utd" is valid until the summer of 2022, with an option to extend it for another season.

The central defender played 34 matches and scored one goal last season for the "Red Devils."
