Blind confident Man Utd can cope with injuries

Daley Blind believes Manchester United can successfully deal with a mounting medical room.

The likes of Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are currently sidelined while Paul Pogba sustained an injury in Sunday's win at Burnley.

With the all-important derby with Manchester City coming up on Thursday night, Blind says he is not too concerned by the increasing number of absentees in Jose Mourinho's squad.

"Yes, we have a big squad. Everybody is ready and we need everyone," the Dutch defender said.

"You can see that again today and we have to realise that as well that you have to be ready when you're needed.

"That's why we can still fight for what we want."
