Roma defender Chris Smalling and his wife have sensationally claimed they spotted a ufo while on holiday in Jamaica.
Smalling endured a difficult 2020-2021 campaign with the former Manchester United defender hit by a number of injury problems which kept him out for part of the season.
The 31-year-old was probably looking forward to a relaxing holdiay with his family before pre-season but it seems his break was interrupted over the weekend.

Roma defender Chris Smalling and his wife have claimed they saw a UFO while on holiday
Smalling's wife Sam took to Instagram on Monday to claim the couple had seen what they believed was a UFO on Sunday night.
Recalling their encounter on her Instagram story, she said: 'Ok so I promise we weren't on magic mushrooms or anything but me and @smalling saw the craziest UFO last night ! Not like a quick few seconds sighting of something high in the sky that could have enough a plane!
'It flew down low past us and then turned and shot back high up in the sky where it stayed for an hour (maybe longer but we had to leave) it was too small to get on film when it stayed stationed in the sky although Chris could see it rotating with lights flashing all around it, (I could only see the outer lights at this point as my eyes aren't as good).

The couple said they were too gobsmacked to take out their phone to record the encounter
'We could have got it on camera when it was flying by us as it was clear to see but we were both too gobsmacked to get our cameras out. Plus we didn't want to look away and miss whatever it was. It looked massive. It didn't look like your typical ufo sightings. It was totally silent.'
In a second story, she went on to add: 'For the record it was 100 billion % NOT a drone. It was massive and very sophisticated with faint lights all around the edge.
'It was also an odd shape not liek that of a drone. Crazy I know Also wasn't a plane or anything like that. It was silent. Even drones are loud.'
Smalling will link up with his former United manager Jose Mourinho for pre-season with the Portuguese boss taking the reigns from Paulo Fonseca.
