Manchester United fans offered a damning verdict on Chris Smalling following first-half embarrassment vs Manchester City.
Manchester City looked in control vs Manchester United in the first-half of the Manchester derby with Pep Guardiola firmly holding one hand on the Premier League title.
Vincent Kompany opened the scoring for Man City on the 25th minute after heading home Leroy Sane’s corner. The Belgian defender was too much to handle for Chris Smalling who could only offer a pitiful attempt at marking the City skipper.
Guardiola’s side then rubbed further embarrassment into Jose Mourinho’s side just five minutes later.
German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan produced an astonishing turn inside the United box before finishing off a fine individual move to tuck the ball past David De Gea.
Chris Smalling and Eric Bailly provided little protection throughout the first-half for United goalkeeper De Gea with City carving out a monumental nine chances in just 45 minutes.
United were continually picked apart by the City front three with Raheem Sterling continually finding himself in goalscoring opportunities.
Many United fans offered brutal views on Smalling’s first-half performance for United and some suggested his Man United career should now come to an end.
Smalling is absolutely terrible. Kompany bullied him for goal like he was a toddler. Embarrassing

Complete joke of a performance since the first goal went in. Pitiful and embarrassing. Chris Smalling is also 2 years away from a testimonial, sums it up really.

Smalling is utterly atrocious! How he’s still a United player I’ll never know! #MCIMNU

Genuinely I’d be disappointed if Luton signed Chris Smalling. He is an atrocious defender.

Chris Smalling lost Vincent Kompany from a corner in 2012 and it cost us the title. He’s lost Vincent Kompany from a corner in 2018 and awarded them the title. The same mistakes over and over again. A metaphor for his career.

And that’s why we have to get rid of Smalling. Horrific defending.

Time and time and time and time and time again. What the fuck is Chris Smalling doing still wearing a Manchester United shirt. Absolutely fucking horrific. I’d love his funeral.

My goodness, Chris Smalling is awful. Horrible defender

Bailly-Smalling has never been a partnership. We are awful
