Blackett ready to take on responsibility of senior defender[GETTY]
Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal has been forced to use 12 players across his back-line in his opening six Premier League fixtures due to injuries and Blackett's suspension.
The England Under-21 international was shown a red card for taking down Jamie Vardy in the box during the 5-3 defeat to Leicester, but is now ready to return and impress van Gaal.
“Obviously, I want to play in every game and I am trying to impress the manager enough to keep my place in his team,” the 20-year-old said.
