Manchester United’s new centre-back!

Despite Louis van Gaal’s statement that Manchester United are still looking for a new player in the central defensive position, last Saturday we saw Daley Blind play in his new centre-back role. In the absence of other defencers Marcos Rojo, and Phil Jones, Blind has emerged as a good option to fill this position.

Questioned about his new role with Manchester United, Daley Blind had the following to say:

I’ve said many times before that I want to play. It’s a real battle for places and everyone had to fight for a position. I got a chance on this occasion and I tried my best. Of course, people always say I don’t have the height or the power but I think I’m clever enough and smart enough.

If you see our opponent today, he’s very good; he wins a lot of headers and duels in the striking position so it’s not only about power and force. I think we did well at the back, together with Chris Smalling, Luke Shaw and Matteo Darmian and we got a clean sheet so I was happy.
