Daley Blind RETURNS to Manchester United training in Christmas boost for Louis van Gaal
MANCHESTER UNITED'S Daley Blind has confirmed his return to training this afternoon.
Daley Blind is back in training
The Dutch midfielder has been sidelined since picking up a knee ligament injury on international duty in November.
At the time it was feared that Blind could miss a substantial chunk of time.
But the 24-year-old is now on the comeback trail in a huge boost to Louis van Gaal.

The former Ajax man said on Twitter: "The football boots are back! Started training outside again, great feeling!"
Blind was one of United's best performers in the early part of the season after making a £14m move to Old Trafford in the summer.
And while it's still not clear when Blind will be available for first-team duties again, it seems United have taken another step towards being full-strength after an injury-ravaged start to the campaign.
