Mourinho: "Blind one of the most professional players I've worked with" | NOW

"Daley is one of the most professional players in my eighteen-year career as a manager, on and off the field," Mourinho explains on United's website. "I want to thank him for everything he's done for the club."

Blind, 28, was taken to Manchester in the summer of 2014 by former coach Louis van Gaal and played 141 games with the Red Devils. In the 2015/2016 season, Blind won the FA Cup with United and a year later, the Premier League club also won the Community Shield, the Europa League and the League Cup. [19659004] Base Location

Last season, Blind was unable to count on a starting point under Mourinho and the Dutch national team 54 times only started in seven matches of Premier League.

Mourinho, who joined United in the summer of 2016, is very grateful to Blind despite his limited role last season. "I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for his dedication and dedication over the past two seasons and wish him every success in Ajax."

Ajax has officially announced the return of Blind Monday. The Amsterdammers are paying sixteen million euros off bonuses for the defender and the middle, who have signed a four-year contract.

Blind spent the youth academy of Ajax and has already played 143 official matches for the national champion 33 times. During the 2009/2010 season, he was loaned to FC Groningen for six months.
