It wasn't just one-way traffic at Old Trafford on Deadline D

It wasn't just one-way traffic at Old Trafford on Deadline Day, with Chris Smalling Manchester United's highest-profile departure.

The defender has departed for Roma in an £18m deal.

Smalling, who has signed a three-year deal at Roma with the option of an additional year, had been pushing for a move back to Rome throughout the summer, where he impressed last year on a season-long loan.

But should United have let him depart?

"I've watched Bailly and Lindelof," commented Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp. "Smalling's gone to Italy and been successful there - I'm thinking he's better than what they've got."
