Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has revealed that Daley Blind will feature in a number of positions this season.
The Holland international has been used in central defence for much of the pre-season and was again present as United lost 2-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in their final pre-season match in the USA on Wednesday.
Blind has been deployed in a number of varying roles by van Gaal since the Dutch pair arrived at Old Trafford and that is likely to be the case again as the 2015/16 Premier League campaign draws near.
"I was very pleased with his performances, not only this evening but also the former performances," van Gaal said of Blind.
"I think he can build up the game better from that position and he defended very well. I think I shall use him there, but also in midfield and also at left full-back position.
"I am pleased with his performances over here in USA."
United kick off the new season with a home fixture against Tottenham on August 8.
