Man Utd legend Van der Sar impressed by Blind start

Manchester United legend Edwin van der Sar is happy for Daley Blind over his impact at Old Trafford.

Van der Sar was at Ajax for Blind's final season with the club.

"The steps he has made here in 18 months have been immense and we always try to develop multi-functional players and that benefitted him," said the Old Trafford great. "That multi-functionality helped him.

"With him in the middle he has more feeling for the space around him and what he can and can't do."
