Going Dutch: Blind impressed under Van Gaal at this summer's World Cup
With Patrice Evra all but out the door United are in the market for another left-back to compliment new signing Luke Shaw.
After impressing at the World Cup under Van Gaal it has been unsurprising to see Dutchman Daley Blind strongly linked with a move.
And United will have been boosted by comments from Ajax boss Frank De Boer that he, along with the rest of the Eredivisie champions squad, is up for sale this summer.
While he is hopeful he will stay to be a cornerstone of the team he conceded that everyone had their price.
"Personally, I don’t think so," he told AT5 when asked if Blind would leave .
"Everyone is obviously for sale, but we feel that those three players, the World Cup players [Blind, Jasper Cillessen and Joel Veltman], with a few guys in the current squad, should be the water carriers of this squad.
"We want to build a core with guys like Davy Klassen, Stefano Denswil, Ricardo van Rhijn and Ruben Ligeon. All guys who have been at Ajax since childhood."
On their way?

Atiku who spoke in an interview with the BBC Hausa service, monitored in Kaduna on Monday, maintained that if it were because of a presidential ambition, he had clear chances of occupying the number one seat when he was in office with former President Olusegun Obasanjo, or even recently when he was in the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN ). He said he let that go in the interest of the nation. Atiku vowed that he would never return to the PDP, saying that from all indications, the party would no longer be what it used to be.
