Man United defender Daley Blind has come out to publicly criticise the sacking of Manager Louis Van Gaal.
Blind was bought from Ajax back in 2014 for a fee of £13.8million, and has expressed his shock with the club to terminate the contract of the Dutchman.
The international Dutch player is the first player In Manchester United’s ranks to speak out publicly about the sacking, which could spell bad news for the player in the end- as the incoming manager will definitely be seeing it.
When questioned about the departure of Louis Van Gaal, he said: “I’ve enjoyed working with the manager so much.
“I would have liked to have carried on for a long while.
“A manager at a big club in the Premier League will always be under pressure.
“But in the case of Van Gaal he has not been treated fairly over the last six months.
“I think a manager with the status of Van Gaal, who has achieved so much in his career, deserved more respect.
“No matter what was said or written about him as a manager, he never stopped protecting us as players.
“He has defended us under any kind of circumstances, he was always taking the stick instead of us.
“I think I can say that the whole squad is grateful for that, for what he has done in that respect for us as players.
“As players we kept believing in each other and we also kept believing in our manager, which was part of the reason we were able to win the FA Cup.
“We achieved this as a group, including the manager. In the end, this was a successful season in our eyes.”
