Given the energy they exert throughout the season, you could forgive professional footballers if they spent the summer doing nothing more taxing than lounging around on the beach.

That’s clearly not for Chris Smalling, though – the Manchester United and England defender posted some awesome pictures on social media after he and his girlfriend Sam Cooke made it to the top of Machu Picchu.

Here’s the Machu Picchu selfie.

Smalling and Cooke have clearly been living it up in Peru, meeting the locals…

Smalling even found time to watch Peru’s Copa America match against Chile with the locals.

We’ll probably stick to the pie and Bovril.
