Man Utd boss Van Gaal explains Blind holiday break

Manchester United midfielder Daley Blind has spent the week away from the club.

United boss Louis van Gaal confirmed that he has given Blind a holiday after the midfielder suffered a knee injury playing for Holland earlier this month.

"I gave Daley Blind a holiday because in the first week it is more or less rest than exercise. He didn't have so much holiday because of the World Cup. You may remember the Netherlands were there until the end.

"He will come back on Monday. Then he has to exercise and practise every day because an injured player has to train more than a fit player."
