Manchester United defender Daley Blind has rejected claims their football is boring.

United have scored five goals in their last nine Premier League games and their two league strikes this season have come via an opponent.

"We are playing really compact now and that's something he (Van Gaal) demands," Blind told Soccer Saturday. "One of his strengths is that we are always strong in defence and that he always knows the opponents well.

"I think it is (unfair to say the team is boring), we want to play attacking football and I think everyone can see that.

"We defend very well and we create a lot of chances when we attack, we just need to score more goals but the goals will come."
