Former Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal has urged Daley Blind to move out of the club amidst rumours of interest from Barcelona.
Blind has fallen down the pecking order this season under Mourinho and has seen very little game time. Even though United are planning to activate the one-year extension clause in his contract but that is mainly in hopes of getting a high transfer price for the Dutchman. Barcelona are said to be interested in Daley Blind and are planning a bid – even if they have to wait until the end of the season.
And now Louis Van Gaal has urged his former player to move out of Old Trafford.
Van Gaal said(as reported by the Mirror), “Daley Blind is better off going to Barcelona, than staying with Man United.
“He is not even on the bench for United sometimes. Daley can play in more than one position and at Barcelona, he would never be sat in the stand.
“I think Daley would fit in better at Barcelona anyway. His level and his style of play is more suited to Spain than England.
“He can operate as a central defender who builds up the play. He can be a defensive midfielder or an attacking left back. Daley can do it all.”
Blind has made just four Premier League appearances this season under Mourinho and Van Gaal feels that the player’s versatility is being wasted.
