Johann Cruyff: 'Daley Blind has improved at Manchester United'

Netherlands legend Johann Cruyff has suggested that Manchester United defender Daley Blind has improved considerably since joining the club from Ajax in 2014.

The 68-year-old, who won the Eredivisie eight times with Ajax as a player, believes that the versatile Dutch international has benefited from his time in the Premier League.

Writing in Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, Cruyff said: "The one who is performing well is Daley Blind.

"It is striking how he has improved after a year at Manchester United. A good example of what a higher training intensity can do."

Blind has made 31 international appearances for the Netherlands, scoring two goals.
