Daley Blind sends heartwarming message to Manchester United fans about time at the club

Daley Blind has admitted it was a dream to play for Manchester United.

Blind signed for United for £13.8m in the summer of 2014 and he spent four years at the club, playing under Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho. Blind won the FA Cup, the League Cup and the Europa League at Old Trafford and he started in two of those finals.

United have won just three trophies since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club and Blind won all three pieces of silverware. The popular and versatile defender was eventually sold by Mourinho in 2018 and he re-signed for Ajax, where he's played since.

Blind, 32, has enjoyed success since leaving Old Trafford, most notably winning three Eredivisie titles with Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman was recently back in Manchester and he reflected on his time at United, admitting that it was a dream to play for the club.

"I only have good memories here," Blind told United's in-house media.

"Winning titles, winning trophies with this club was an amazing feeling and I was playing in those finals and being part of that team, so they are moments in my career that I will never forget.

"But all the experience of being a player at Manchester United was an amazing journey. It sounds a bit cheap to say, but it was a dream come true to play for a club like this. It's good memories here and I really enjoyed my four years at the club."
