Daley Blind: 'We have to keep faith in Louis van Gaal'

Manchester United midfielder Daley Blind has urged his teammates and the club's supporters to keep faith in manager Louis van Gaal's tactics.

The Dutchman has been forced to alter his formation several times this season due to his team's inconsistent performances and injuries in defence.

The Red Devils' supporters urged the 63-year-old to change his system against Queens Park Rangers after starting with three at the back, while the change prompted a difference in their approach and yielded a 2-0 victory at Loftus Road.

Blind told reporters: "[Van Gaal] makes players better and he makes teams better. I like that in a coach. That is his most important asset. It was the same when I was with him with Holland. He wanted to make the team better. As the team gets better, individuals started standing out as well.

"We didn't play very great football at the World Cup but we were a team and we were winning games, and we started playing better after winning. You change the system and you get better, you become a team and you start winning.

"If you have played another system for a long time, you have to get used to a new one but that isn't a problem. We knew it was going to be difficult in the Premier League but we have to keep our heads up. We have to keep faith."

United are fourth in the Premier League after 22 matches this season.
