Ajax veteran Daley Blind admits it's been painful to see Chelsea doing better than Manchester United.

United sit 14th in the English top flight just two points above the relegation zone - following Sunday's draw with arch-rivals Liverpool.

And Blind says it has been difficult to watch the plight of his former side this season.

"Of course I'm not happy to see Man Utd and how they're performing at the moment," the 29-year-old told a press conference on Tuesday. "I'm still a fan of United and it's not nice to see.

"Regarding Chelsea, they are doing well, they have a good philosophy under a manager who wants to play out from the back. They play different attacking football with a lot of youngsters and that's nice to see.

"From that perspective, it's good. But if you're talking about United then I'm not happy about that, of course."
