Ferguson impressed by Man Utd signing Blind

Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has been impressed by summer signing Daley Blind.

Ferguson likened the abilities of Netherlands international Blind to the attributes held by current vice-captain Darren Fletcher.

"Daley Blind is one of those common-sense footballers that make up a team," the legendary United manager told MUTV.

"He's probably a version of Darren Fletcher of a few years ago, that type of player.

"He's a good professional with common sense to his game. He keeps it simple and protects the defenders and the attacking midfield players in his role."
