About Daley Blind
Daley Blind (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈdeːli ˈblɪnt]; born 9 March 1990) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays for Eredivisie club Ajax. A versatile player, he has been deployed as a left-back, centre-back, and defensive midfielder. He is the son of former Ajax defender and former Netherlands national team manager Danny Blind. Blind rose through the youth ranks at Ajax, becoming a regular after a loan to Groningen, and won four consecutive Eredivisie titles with the club. In September 2014, he transferred to Manchester United for £13.8 million, where he was part of the team that won four trophies including the FA Cup, EFL Cup and UEFA Europa League. In the summer of 2018, Blind returned to Ajax, where he won his fifth Eredivisie title and a first-ever KNVB Cup in his first season back at the club. He won two more Eredivisie titles before moving to Bayern Munich, where he won the Bundesliga during a six-month spell. Blind signed for Spanish club Girona in 2023, before returning for a third stint with Ajax in 2026. A full Netherlands international from 2013 to 2024, Blind earned over 100 caps, and was a member of the Dutch squad that finished third at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He then went on to feature at UEFA Euro 2020, the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024. Blind is a product of the Ajax youth system and, while officially still a B-junior, he became a mainstay in the A-juniors during the 2007–08 season before earning promotion to the Ajax first-team for the 2008–09 season.
