Blind Snr: I was tough on Man Utd midfielder Daley Blind as junior coach

Holland assistant coach Danny Blind admits he was tough on son Daley as a junior player.

Manchester United midfielder Daley Blind was coached by his father as a junior at Ajax.

Danny recalled: "In the beginning, I did not treat him like everyone else. I was tougher. If I had to correct him, for example.

"If he played well, I said it was just enough. I did not just say that he was very good, he did enough. But just as he was poor, I said he was very bad.

"That's it," Danny laughed.
