Gabriele Marcotti says Man United could sell Daley Blind
Blind joined Manchester United in 2014 under fellow Dutchman Louis van Gaal.
But since Jose Mourinho arrival in 2016, Blind’s playing time has decreased significantly.
Blind returned to United for pre-season training but was left out of the squad which travelled to America on Sunday.
And United have now confirmed he is on the verge of a return to Dutch football.
In a tweet from their official Twitter account, United said: “#MUFC has agreed terms with Ajax for the transfer of @BlindDaley. A further announcement will be made in due course.”

Former United goalkeeper and current Ajax chief executive officer Edwin van der Sar believes Blind is a good addition to the squad.
He said: “I think Daley is a fantastic player.
“He's multi-functional, can be a left-back, centre-half and a defensive midfielder.
“For Netherlands and for Manchester United, he played many good games.
"I think it's no secret that we [Ajax] are still looking for a central defender and, if possible, it would be a great addition for Ajax to have a player with the quality of Daley to fit in the team."
