Man Utd boss Van Gaal targets Blind as Evra replacement

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is keen on Ajax utility Daley Blind. The Manchester Evening News says Blind will become a priority target if United lose Patrice Evra to Juventus.

New Old Trafford boss Louis van Gaal is expected to step up interest in his versatile World Cup left-back if, as expected, Evra decides to leave after eight years with the Reds.

Blind, whose father Danny is part of Van Gaal's backroom team at the World Cup, can play either in the No.3 spot or as an attacking wing-back as he has done in Brazil.
