Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has paid tribute to Daley Blind after his sale to Ajax.

Ajax have broken their transfer record to re-sign Blind.

"I would like to say a big thank you to Daley Blind for everything he has done for the club since he joined in 2014," the boss told ManUtd.com.

“I have to say, that in my 18 years of management, Daley is one of the most professional players, both on and off the pitch, that I have had the pleasure to work with.

“I would like to take this opportunity to wish him all the very best as he rejoins his boyhood club, Ajax, and thank him from the bottom of my heart for his commitment and dedication over the past two seasons."
