Manchester United defender Chris Smalling admits he's ‘gutted’ to miss out on Roma’s Europa League match against Sevilla.

The English centre-back has been excluded from the registered squad as Roma couldn’t reach an agreement with Manchester United to extend his stay in the Italian capital.

The 30-year-old had helped the Giallorossi to fifth in Serie A this season and was preparing to face Sevilla in the last 16 of the Europa League this week.

Last night, La Lupa confirmed that Smalling will not be available for the remainder of the competition and the United defender admitted he was ‘gutted’ and sent a message of gratitude to the club.

“I’m gutted that I can’t finish what we started this season,” Smalling wrote on Instagram.

“To experience the love shown to me in such a short time was extra special and it will not be forgotten.

“I want to thank and wish all the players and staff the best of luck against Sevilla. DAJE ROMA!”
