Smalling hopes United build on victory

“We have a good base now with an away win and now we can go back to Old Trafford and build on that.

Defender Chris Smalling is confident Manchester United’s 2-1 win at Arsenal can serve as a platform on which to cement their place back in the top four of the Barclays Premier League.

United recorded their first away win under Louis van Gaal after weathering an early onslaught from the Gunners, when goalkeeper David De Gea saved one-on-one from Jack Wilshere.
