DALEY BLIND RETURNS TO AJAX



After 4 long years, our own Daley 'Ifeanyi' Blind has left the shores of Carrington, Old Trafford and indeed England to re-sign for his old Club Ajax. 

Manchester United have confirmed his exit and the deal is believed to be in the neighborhood of €16 million. 

In a very emotional message, the Dutch international said "First of all I want to say how proud I am to be a part of the Manchester United family. To play for the biggest club in the world with such a history meant a lot to me. I had 4 great years with 4 trophies!!!



Blind was signed by 'Oga Philosophy', Louis Van Gaal from Ajax in the 2014/2015 season and made 141 appearances, scoring 6 goals. During this period, he won win the FA community shield, the FA cup, EFL cup and the Europa league with Manchester United. 

He will be fondly remembered for his smooth and calm style of play, his versatility and intelligence on the ball which we call in Naija 'Ball sense'. 

The boss himself, Jose 'Uchenna Mourinho has paid tribute to him saying " In my 18 years of management, Daley is one of the most professional players on and off the pitch, that i have had the pleasure to work with".


ManUtdNaijaFM says: We wish you well, and you'll always be our 'Ifeanyi'. All the best In Ajax. Keep shining.
