It has been reported that Manchester United midfielder Daley Blind is happy to play at centre-half.
Blind, who played mostly at left-back or as a holding midfielder last season, is becoming United’s ‘Mr Versatile’, with forward roles just about the only outfield positions he hasn’t tried.
“I played a lot as a central defender at youth level and also for a few games at Ajax,” he said. “The manager knows I am a player that can play in different positions. I will play where the manager needs me. He is playing me now in this position and I will try to do my best.
“Of course, every position needs something different but I think I know the different positions and try to adapt the best way and try to play my own game. I don’t think the manager will put me up front!
“Working for this manager is about learning every day. We are trying to do that and as a new team. You can see the new players are involved very quickly so I am happy that we are acting like a team as well.”
