What is baffling is that this deal was always extremely likely yet United wait until the end of the window to sign him. Their desperation for defenders, as well as the usual end of window price hikes, means they are once again overpaying for players.
Don't think Ed Woodward is doing a good job at the moment.
Do you think just maybe the deal took its time as Ajax might have been a bit reluctant to sell their best player and wanted to get the best deal?If you say so.
Might come as a surprise to you but Ajax weren't desperate to sell Blind as soon as they possibly could.
Not a surprise as Ajax are a quality team. In my opinion though I think United could have got him for less earlier in the window. They are paying more now because clubs know that they are desperate for quality players.
