Man Utd defender Blind upbeat over Euro chances

Manchester United defender Daley Blind is upbeat over their Europa League qualifying chances after victory over Feyenoord.

United are now second in Group A, a point behind leaders Fenerbahce, ahead of the final pool game away to Zorya Luhansk on 8 December.

"We showed that we are in a good way," Blind told MUTV after the match. "We have a great team and I think for any opponent it's so difficult to play against the movement of the players.

"The job is not done but we're in a good way, on a good track, so we're going [to Zorya] with confidence."

One the of the other standout moments of the evening was Wayne Rooney's first-half opener, a goal that confirmed Rooney as United's record goalscorer in European competition, and Blind commended his team-mate's incredible achievement.

“Wayne is a great player and a great personality as well," he said. “For me I can only say that it's a pleasure to play with him every game."
