LAGOS, Portugal (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. "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. Personally I can look back on a good season in which I played 57 matches plus a few internationals," he said. It was in the end, a good finish to the season," added the 26-year-old Blind, who Van Gaal brought across from Ajax Amsterdam when he took over at Old Trafford two years ago. It is a good opportunity to play again after being on the bench for a lot of games," he said.
