Man United’s Daley Blind scores this magnificent own goal…but is saved by the linesman’s flag (Video)

Daley Blind will be thanking his lucky stars tonight.

The Manchester United defender pulled off a real clanger tonight in the Capital One Cup game against Middlesbrough. The Dutchman somehow managed to rifle home into his own net from a ridiculously tight angle. It's quite a finish. Fortunately for him it was chalked offside.
