Tyler Blackett: 'Louis van Gaal backing Celtic loan move'

Manchester United youngster Tyler Blackett says that coach Louis van Gaal is backing his temporary loan move to Scottish club Celtic.

Manchester United defender Tyler Blackett has revealed that his loan move to Celtic has the backing of Louis van Gaal.

The young full-back completed a temporary move to the Scottish club over the weekend, and Blackett has since revealed that United's first-team coach insisted that the switch would be good for his development.

"There are a lot of good players in the 21s but you want to test yourself against older players and get that experience," the 21-year-old told reporters, according to insidefutbol.com.

"United is a worldwide club and it's always difficult for young players but it makes the challenge bigger.

"I spoke to [Van Gaal] yesterday and he said it would be a good experience for me, getting the games I need."

Blackett was a prominent fixture under Van Gaal during the early part of the Dutchman's first season at the club.
