Ajax
Manchester United’s transfer strategy under Ruben Amorim continues to take shape with a clear focus on adding experience and tactical versatility to the squad.
The club remains linked with a variety of defensive reinforcements, with moves for a left-footed centre-back and a backup left-back reportedly on the table as Amorim looks to reshape the backline.
Amorim’s commitment to building a squad that blends youth with experience is part of a wider long-term vision, which includes carefully selecting leaders who can guide the younger players both on and off the pitch.

And with the Red Devils expected to offload a number of players, the need for a seasoned utility defender with a calm head has become ever more pressing.
United are not the only team that need such a defender.
Teams across Europe are looking to stock up their ranks ahead of the new season and identifying who they can bring in.
One name now circulating on the transfer circuit is that of Daley Blind, the former Manchester United defender who currently plies his trade at Girona.
According to VoetbalPrimeur, Ajax are pushing to re-sign the Dutch international for what would be his third spell at the club.

Daley Blind, who is under contract with Girona until 2026, is said to be open to the move as it would allow him to return home and potentially retire where it all began.
However, the situation is far from simple.
Girona have no intention of letting Blind leave for free, especially considering his importance to their recent success.
The Catalan club have made it clear through sporting director Quique Carcel that they expect proper compensation for any player under contract.
Ajax, on the other hand, are hoping to sign Blind on a free transfer, leveraging his personal desire to go back to Amsterdam.
Blind has been a key figure at Girona since his arrival two seasons ago, proving instrumental in their backline and offering tactical flexibility by covering both central defence and left-back roles.
With the deal far from done and Girona holding firm, this is one to watch closely as the summer window heats up.
