5 Players Who Will Leave Manchester United This Summer

Daley Blind

Manchester United v Watford - Premier League

When it comes to cultured defenders, Daley Blind is one of the most talented in world football. A calm, ball-playing defender, the former Ajax star has a majestic left foot and regularly impresses when he gets a game for Manchester United. Unfortunately for Blind, those games have been few and far between this past season.

Despite being able to play at centre-back, left-back, or in midfield, it appears that the Amsterdam native’s time at United is about to come to a close. It was only this past week that Blind talked to De Telegraaf about a possible return to Ajax, with his hometown club reportedly keen to bring back their former captain.

Going further back, Blind was linked with a move to Italy with Inter Milan or to Spain with Barcelona. Wherever he goes, the technically gifted Dutchman will add quality and versatility to a team, and seeing him sat on the Old Trafford bench each week really is an absolute waste of his talents.
