Blind grateful to Rooney for warm Man Utd welcome

Daley Blind says Manchester United skipper Wayne Rooney quickly made him feel welcome at Old Trafford.

The Dutchman moved from Ajax to Old Trafford on deadline day. And the 24-year-old says his switch has been smoothed by United's new club captain.

Blind said: "Wayne Rooney is really a good guy. He helped me a lot in the beginning with a warm welcome. He's also a very, very good player. I'm happy that I'm in the same team as him."
