Daley Blind is Van Gaal's surrogate son
Daley Blind was the only United player to break ranks and condemn their handling of Van Gaal's sacking. Blind said Van Gaal had "not been treated fairly over the last six months" shortly after the Dutchman's dismissal in May 2016.
Van Gaal bought Blind from Ajax for £13.8million, having coached him with the national team. When Van Gaal travels to Ajax's training ground in the film, Blind sidles over. Van Gaal beams: "Daley Blind is like a football son of mine."
