Manchester United midfielder Daley Blind has revealed that the Red Devils are focused on their own games instead of keeping an eye on their opponents’ results as they head into their last six games of the campaign.
Blind joined compatriot Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford from Ajax at the start of the current season and he has gone on to become a valuable member of his manager’s starting eleven.
The 25-year-old has scored twice and assisted a further three strikes for his team-mates to help Manchester United reach third spot in the table as they attempt a return to the Champions League after a year’s absence.
Van Gaal’s men are currently on a six-match winning spree and they have defeated fellow top four rivals Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Manchester City in recent weeks to exhibit their credentials for a top four finish.
Manchester United face league leaders Chelsea in their next fixture and Blind feels that in order to finish as high as they possibly can, the Red Devils need to keep playing at the same level and not think about their opposition.
