Manchester United ace backed to join his former club

The player has been heavily linked with a summer exit

Daley Blind joined Manchester United from Ajax for a fee of £13.8 million in 2014. He was a regular and made significant contributions for the club during his first two seasons with them.

The Netherlands International featured 30 times in all competitions under Jose Mourinho during the 2016/2017 campaign. He helped his team to win the League cup and the Europa League.

The Red Devils exercised the option to extend his contract by one year earlier this year, which will expire at the end of the next season.

The 27 year old struggled to make an impression under Jose Mourinho last term and fell behind the pecking order last season, with the Portuguese coach preferring Ashley Young ahead of him. He just managed to make 7 Premier League appearances and 17 in all competitions.

The versatile player is one of the players who has been heavily linked with a summer exit as Mourinho reportedly doesn’t see his future at the Old Trafford.

Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld has said that he would one day like Blind to return to Ajax. The Belgian was a team-mate of him in Amsterdam and believes that it is a real possibility he could one day return there.

The Dutchman played more than 100 league games for the Eredevise giants before leaving for England.

“Daley is a great guy. We did not just play together, but also went to school together. He is a proper Amsterdammer,” the 29 year old told De Telegraaf.

“It is nice for both parties involved that he has said he would be open to a return – if it happens.”

The Belgium International has also been heavily linked with a summer exit after struggling for regular game time time. United are one of the clubs who have shown strong interest in him.
