Ajax have announced the return of defensive midfielder Daley Blind after Manchester United had earlier confirmed terms had been agreed.

The 28-year-old swapped the Amsterdam giants for Old Trafford four years ago in a £14million deal.

A return has been understood to be on the cards for some days and on Monday night United tweeted: “#MUFC has agreed terms with Ajax for the transfer of @BlindDaley. A further announcement will be made in due course.”
