Daley Blind: Settling in at United
New Manchester United midfielder Daley Blind has played down comparisons with Roy Keane, saying: "Let's not go overboard."
Blind has only played four games since his £14m move from Ajax but has already been hailed as the belated successor to Keane.
The £14m signing is keen to temper expectations, saying: "It's going quite well, but we've only just started.
"I can say I have settled in quite well. In England it is not very usual to start the build-up from behind. United do. This is where my Ajax background becomes useful. Starting the build-up there is our second nature.
"Robin van Persie helped me out a lot in the early stages. Now I hang out with the other players too. We've got a nice group of players with the likes of [Angel] Di Maria and [Radamel] Falcao.
"[They are] world-class players but very down-to-earth. Falcao even seems shy when you meet him for the first time. It's up to me to reach their level. My Ajax background comes in handy there too."
