Daley Blind: Why new signing is key for Manchester United

Memphis Depay struck two wonder goals as United beat Bruges 2-1

MEMPHIS DEPAY is perfect for Manchester United, says Daley Blind.

 

The Holland winger scored two empathic goals as United took a first-leg lead in the Champions League play-offs on Tuesday.

Memphis was Louis van Gaal's first signing of the summer in a £25million deal from PSV.

 

And Blind, his international team-mate, believes his persona has helped him fit in quickly. 

“He’s settled in very well,” Blind told United Review.

 

“You can see he has a lot of talent, he’s very strong and quick and a real personality. He dares to show himself on the pitch which is very positive and he’s a really good guy who gets along with everyone.

“He just needs to enjoy it as much as he can. Of course you’re focused on giving the best performance you can every day in training and in matches, but it’s important not to put yourself under too much pressure and make sure you enjoy moments, like when you play at Old Trafford.

“I’m also not sure he needs my advice as he is a real personality. He knows what he can do and has a lot of faith in himself, and that’s a good way to be at a club like United.”
