Ajax announce Daley Blind’s Transfer to Manchester United
Ajax have confirmed the sale of Daley Blind to Manchester United for £13.8m.
The Dutch club revealed the 24-year-old had moved to Old Trafford via twitter, saying: “Blind was in favour of a move to Manchester United to rejoin Louis van Gaal, who managed him in the Holland squad during the World Cup. He first had to agree personal terms and pass a medical, two things which now appear to have happened.”
Blind’s move is supposed to help bolster the side because he can play as a defensive midfielder, left-sided defender or wing-back.
He joins £59.1m Ángel di María, £27m Luke Shaw, £28m Ander Herrera and £16m Marcos Rojo as first-team squad additions since Van Gaal became the manager.
