Ajax have confirmed that Daley Blind has completed his move to Manchester United.
A deal worth €17.5 million was agreed between the two clubs on Saturday, with personal terms and a medical having now been finalised.
The Netherlands international, who can play both in midfield and at left-back, bid farewell to his Ajax team-mates, with whom he won four consesutive league titles.
The son of Ajax and Netherlands legend Danny Blind had earlier expressed his delight at having secured a switch to Old Trafford, telling reporters that United are "one of the biggest clubs in the world".
His acquisition by Louis van Gaal's side, along with British-record signing Angel Di Maria, has been welcomed by new team-mate Juan Mata, saying: "I am sure these two players will give a lot to us and will strengthen the team.
"We already know what Angel is capable of, his ability and dribbling skills, and Daley has a great touch and is very intelligent, as he showed during the World Cup."
However, Red Devils legend Paul Scholes is less convinced that Blind will improve the side.
Blind was a key member of the Netherlands team who, under Van Gaal, finished third at the World Cup over the summer. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
