Van Gaal still keen on signing Netherlands international Daley Blind
The Afax defender – who the new manager knows well from their time working together with the Dutch national team – remains a target for the club this summer, reports the Guardian.
Blind impressed at the 2014 World Cup where he played as both a left wing-back and a centre-back, but can also operate in defensive midfield and was named as Dutch Player of the Year for his role there in 2013/14.
Van Gaal is keen to add more full-backs to his squad with only Rafael and new signing Luke Shaw recognised in the positions currently.
