Daley Blind: Unveiled by Manchester United at Old Trafford
Manchester United new boy Daley Blind admits Louis van Gaal was a "very important" factor in his decision to move to Old Trafford.
Dutch defender Blind, who completed his £14m move to United on deadline day, had long been expected to join his former Holland boss Van Gaal and the deal was finally signed off just over three hours before the end of the window.
The 24-year-old said he was looking forward to working under Van Gaal again and would be happy to play in either defence or midfield.
He said: "He (Van Gaal) was really important for me. He gave me a lot of trust during the World Cup and during the qualification games for the Dutch team.
"I'm happy to work again with the coach and I learned a lot from him and I hope I learn more. I'm getting better every day.
"For me I can play in both positions, as a defender and as midfielder and I want to play. If it's on the left and if it's as a defender or if it's a midfielder then it's up to the coach - I'll try to do my best in the position where I play."
