Manchester United star Daley Blind has insisted he will be at Old Trafford next season despite reports linking him with a move away from the club this summer. 

The Dutchman signed for United back in 2014 for £13.8 million and has since gone on to make 139 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring six goals and providing 10 assists.

This season, however, Blind has struggled to get into Jose Mourinho’s side – appearing in 15 games across all competitions – including just five in the Premier League, although injuries have been part of the issue. NaijaBet.com

His lack of starting opportunities has led to rumours circulating of a potential departure from England but Blind insists his time at Old Trafford is far from over.

Speaking to Ajax Showtime, Blind said: “I hear that the club’s high-ups are satisfied with me, and they just want me to keep on working. There are lots of transfer rumours surrounding United.

“Five or six players in my position are linked to the club every week, and given my contract situation it’s logical people have written about me leaving.

“Jose Mourinho gave me over 30 matches in his first year in charge, which not everyone had expected. He stated his faith in me, and I have done my best to reward him. I have a great relationship with him. NaijaBet.com

“He always involves me with the first team, even though he picks other players. That can happen at this level – this is Manchester United, and there is lots of competition for places.

“It’s down to me to keep working hard, get as many minutes as possible and show what I can do.”

Blind has currently been out injured since January with an ankle injury.

United travel to Bournemouth for a midweek clash next in the Premier League before their FA Cup semi-final on Saturday against Tottenham. NaijaBet.com
