Champions League LIVE

PSG v Manchester United is live on talkSPORT at 20:00 on Wednesday 6 MarchHe is one of the worst offenders when it comes to pulling shirts and holding players in the box. Once referees have the help of a video assistant, he wont get away with it.Im not picking on him as hes not the only one – Sokratis (Papastathopoulos) at Arsenal is another defender who is always holding opponents.But in the past few games I have been watching Smalling and he is doing it every time he defends a corner or a free-kick. Its often because he gets caught on the wrong side of the attacker. Smalling has been playing well of late but the United manager next season, whoever it is, will have to work on his marking in the box.Smalling has started Uniteds last four games since recovering from a foot injury.He is likely to retain his place as United look to overturn a 2-0 deficit in their Champions League last-16 second leg tie against Paris Saint-Germain live on talkSPORT.However, the club could have to take on Kylian Mbappe and co. without TEN players as injury and suspension has struck at Old Trafford.
