Jamie Carragher puzzled by Manchester United's Daley Blind chase

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes that Manchester United's reported pursuit of Daley Blind is "strange".

The Red Devils have been linked with a move for the Ajax defender, but in a summer that has seen them already sign two left-sided defenders in Marcos Rojo and Luke Shaw, Carragher feels that a third is unnecessary.

He told Sky Sports News: "I think it's strange to buy Rojo and Luke Shaw and you're looking for another left-sided defender.

"You need players in your squad, I get that, but it does seem strange to buy that many players in that position."

Argentina defender Rojo signed last week for around £16m.
