Chris Smalling feels Manchester United’s current form will be going down in the history books as the Red Devils have shown much grit and determination in the last few matches just like they used to perform under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson.
United came from behind to down Bournemouth 2-1 as they climbed up to the seventh position in the Premier League table. Jose Mourinho’s side have had a shaky start to the season as they lost back to back matches against Brighton & Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur at the start of the season.
They also crashed out of the Carabao Cup following their loss to Derby County in the penalties. But despite all the odds Mourinho has managed to bind the side to his tune and the result has been pretty satisfactory.
Smalling said, “We’re showing that attitude, never giving in and you can see that coming out.
“No matter how bad that first half was, that second half we all believed we can go and win. It’s a great feeling and it’s bringing us closer together.
“As games are getting tougher and tougher they’re closer than ever, and it’s often coming down to fine margins, who can give that added burst in the last five minutes. We’re going to win a lot of points that way.
“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, considering (October) was probably one of our toughest months.
“We have to stick together. This is a club that is talked about more than any other and we as players need to stick together and ride out the tough times and stay together in the good and try to keep them flowing as much as we can.
“We knew that three points was a must because we have to move up that table.”
