CHRIS SMALLING has been ridiculed on Twitter after having to turn his entire body to make a simple five-yard pass.
The Manchester United defend made the football faux pas during Friday night’s Premier League clash at Brighton.
Smalling took possession of the ball in defence late on in the second half, looking to pass it to his right.
He had all the time in the world as there were no Brighton players nearby.
But instead of simply tapping the ball with his left foot, like most players would have done, Smalling bizarrely turned all the way on the spot until his body was facing a completely different angle.
It meant he was then able to offload the ball with his right foot instead.
