TWEETS: Daley Blind savaged after a truly awful display for Manchester United

Homesport

Bournemouth. Southampton. Hull. It was all going so well.

Daley Blind was linked with a Manchester United exit over the summer but Jose Mourinho was impressed with his commitment to the cause, smart passing and willingness to learn. He started the season ahead of Chris Smalling. It looked as though Smalling was being rested but Blind did not give Mourinho a reason to bring him back on. The statisticians loved Blind's start. https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/774183434478432256 Perfection... In the first real test of United's season, Blind has found himself exposed. United found themselves 2-1 down at half-time. Blind was beaten by Kevin de Bruyne to a flicked on ball and, three seconds later, United were 1-0 down. Twitter simmered: https://twitter.com/JamesTylerESPN/status/774577468338532352 https://twitter.com/Will__NE/status/774574518094467072 https://twitter.com/AdamCharman28/status/774574603880587265 https://twitter.com/Memz_Dogi/status/774575218631270400 35 minutes in and Blind played Kelechi Iheanacho onside and, after de Bruyne's shot came back off the post, the striker tapped home. Daley Blind onside Twitter simply lost its mind. https://twitter.com/pafctom97/status/774575242631114752 https://twitter.com/Omojuwa/status/774574936262344708 https://twitter.com/dc_manintheknow/status/774579767932694528 And there was still 45 to go...
