Manchester United midfielder Daley Blind has dismissed criticism from club legend Roy Keane.

Keane tore into Blind's defending after United's 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in the FA Cup, labelling it 'absolutely disgraceful'.

But Blind insists he doesn't let negative comments get him down.

"I can handle it. I don't lose any sleep," Blind told The Sun.

"When you play for United, you must deal with comments."

Blind also explained his desire to become more of a leader on the pitch.

He added: "I feel good enough to steer players in the right direction. That, I want to grow."
