Manchester United defender Daley Blind has agreed to return to Dutch giants Ajax, it has been revealed.

De Telegraaf's football chief Valentijn Driessen declared the move would happen on the VI Oranje programme.

"He is going to earn a lot of money. We have to think of an English salary. Or yes, actually not salary. You get a signing bonus of a few million and then an excellent salary. Then you come close to that English situation," assured Driessen.

"Manchester United wants seventeen million euros for a nine-month contract, which is not going to happen yet."

Ajax are now pushing United to drop their current €17.5m asking price.
