Manchester United defender Chris Smalling admits that the team wants to keep more clean sheets following Saturday's 3-1 win over Sunderland.

Manchester United defender Chris Smalling has admitted that the team would like more clean sheets following Saturday's 3-1 win over Sunderland.

Despite the victory, Frazier Campbell's goal means that the Red Devils have not conceded in only three Premier League matches this season.

"We were disappointed with the goal we conceded because we wanted to get a clean sheet," Smalling told the club's official website. "We have to make sure it doesn't cost us next time.

"Getting a clean sheet means to a lot to us as defenders but also because our record recently hasn't included a lot of them."

The win over the Black Cats saw United maintain their six-point lead at the top of the table.
