Man Utd defender Smalling close to losing rag over 'Mike' nickname

Published on: 21 November 2015

Manchester United defender Chris Smalling admits he's now losing his rag over being called 'Mike'.

Louis van Gaal mistakenly called the 25-year-old 'Mike' at a press conference in San Jose on the club's pre-season tour and did so again following the 2-0 win over West Brom before the international break.

"Even when we're going to games and getting off the coach, it's all 'Mike, Mike, Mike'" Smalling told BT Sport.

"Even though it can get annoying, it's one of those which is just going to stick with me and I've got to roll with it.

"It's not Mike in the dressing room but I think every fan knows me as Mike now."
