Daley Blind buzzing after winning Man Utd debut

Daley Blind was delighted to make a winning Manchester United debut in victory over QPR.

Blind spoke of his excitement at stepping out on the hallowed turf and his joy at playing his part in the Reds' first win of the campaign.

"I was really excited before the game," he told MUTV. "It was a really good debut which I really enjoyed and the fans were amazing. Everything has gone well. I had a good week of training and everyone has been really nice and open, and given me a great welcome. I felt at home straight away."

Blind added: "It is a new team and it can be difficult at first but I think we did well. Everybody is feeling good and everyone helped each other when we lost the ball. It's important that we do that as quickly as possible when we lose it. That is the manager's philosophy. We did a good job as a team. This is a new beginning and we're looking forward to the next game."
