Van Gaal deserved more respect, better treatment: Blind (Reuters)

Netherlands international Daley Blind believes sacked Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal deserved more respect, better treatment and faced unfair speculation over his future before being dismissed on Monday. The manager of a top club in England is naturally under much more pressure but over the last six months he has not been treated fairly," Defender Blind told reporters at the Dutch team's training camp in Portugal. "I think a manager like Louis van Gaal, who has achieved so much already, deserved more respect," added Blind from the Netherlands' base for three post-season internationals over the next fortnight.
