Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld is backing Ajax's move for Manchester United fullback Daley Blind.

The pair played together at Ajax.

“Daley is a great guy. We did not just play together, but also went to school together. He is a proper Amsterdammer," Alderweireld told De Telegraaf.

“It is nice for both parties involved that he has said he would be open to a return - if it happens."

Blind's representatives are now in talks with Ajax about a return to the club.
