Chris Smalling wants Manchester United to be more clinical

Chris Smalling says that Manchester United must be more ruthless in front of goal after losing to PSV Eindhoven in their Champions League opener.

Manchester United defender Chris Smalling has stated that the team must take full advantage of goalscoring opportunities after losing to PSV Eindhoven in their Champions League opener.

Memphis Depay gave the Red Devils the lead against his old club at the Phillips Stadion on Tuesday evening, but goals from Hector Moreno and Luciano Narsingh secured a 2-1 victory for the hosts.

Smalling has said that Louis van Gaal's men need to learn how to turn their possession into goals.

"I think that we missed a cutting edge in the final third and in their box, and we needed to really try and make more of our possession," he told BT Sport.

"In the first half PSV scored from their only chance, a corner, and then we gave the ball away just outside our box and they punished us. They were really their main chances, so it's a disappointing night."

United sit third in Group B following the defeat.
