Champions League: Smalling reveals Man United’s game plan against Juventus

Manchester United defender, Chris Smalling has disclosed his side’s Champions League game plan against Juventus.
United will take on the Serie A giants in Wednesday’s Champions League fixture in Turin.
Smalling, however, said that United will make sure they attack Max Allegri’s side in front of their home fans so as to create a lot of chances in front of goal.
Jose Mourinho’s men head to the game after losing 1-0 against Juventus at Old Trafford last month.
The Red Devils, however, defeated Bournemouth 2-1 in the Premier League encounter over the weekend.
“I think that it would galvanise us. We know we’re going into a very tough week now but we can come out with some good results and it can be seen as a good month,” Sportsmole quoted Smalling as saying.
“It is an especially tough month now and potentially after the international break when we have a lot of home games it’s all about making sure we get results and move up that table despite the tough games.
“We can take the second half to Turin and I think we will be more on the front foot and you will see a better performance in the first half. We need to take the second-half performance that we had against them at home and we need to do that from the off and we’ll give them a good game and get chances.”
