Chris Smalling: Martial goal has lifted Man United spirits for ‘massive’ week

Chris Smalling believes Manchester United can flourish in this week’s “massive” matches if they can replicate the display that kept their FA Cup dreams alive.

Sunday looked set to be one of the low points in a troubled campaign as Dimitri Payet’s exceptional free-kick put West Ham on course for Wembley.

However, the improved attitude and aptitude displayed by Louis van Gaal’s men helped secure a 1-1 draw, with Anthony Martial’s effort from an acute angle securing a quarter-final replay.
