Daley Blind has not travelled to the United States for Manchester United’s pre-season tour as he is set to move to Ajax this week, according to BBC Sport reporter Simon Stone.
Blind’s future at Old Trafford has been a source of speculation this summer after he struggled to hold down a regular spot in the first team under Jose Mourinho last season. Indeed, the 28-year-old defender only started four Premier League games for Manchester United as they missed out on winning a trophy last term.Reporter Stone is now claiming that a fee with Ajax has been agreed and that Blind is poised to return to the Amsterdam club after having failed to win over Mourinho at Old Trafford.Stone wrote on Twitter: “As per yesterday re fee agreed, Daley Blind not on board @ManUtd flight to LA this evening. Ajax transfer will be done over coming days.”
Meanwhile, Manchester United are believed to be on the lookout for a number of new signings this summer as the Red Devils look to try and build a squad capable of winning the Premier League title next season. Manchester United ended up in second place in the Premier League table last season but without a trophy in Mourinho’s second campaign in charge at the club.The Red Devils have already signed Lee Grant, Diogo Dalot and Fred so far this summer.
