Daley Blind

Blind began his career in the youth academy of his hometown club, Ajax; the same club where his father Danny made his name as a professional.{{cite web |title=Ajax Showtime - Nieuws over Ajax, Jong Ajax en Ajax-jeugd |url=http://www.ajaxshowtime.com/index.php?msg=33171&page=1 |url-status=usurped |website=ajaxshowtime.com}} Blind is a product of the Ajax youth system and, while officially still a B-junior, he became a mainstay in the A-juniors during the 2007–08 season before earning promotion to the Ajax first-team for the 2008–09 season.{{cite web |url=http://english.ajax.nl/web/show/id=154814/contentid=68236 |title=Blind helps Ajax win in debut |publisher=Ajax.nl |date=7 December 2008 |access-date=11 December 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081217140444/http://english.ajax.nl/web/show/id%3D154814/contentid%3D68236 |archive-date=17 December 2008 }} He showed good promise as a youngster and was made captain of Jong Ajax in 2007.{{cite news|last1=Ramesh|first1=Priya|title=Love is 'Blind': Profiling Ajax & Netherlands stalwart Daley Blind|url=http://www.benefoot.net/love-is-blind-profiling-ajax-dutch-stalwart-daley-blind/|access-date=20 June 2014|publisher=Benefoot.net|date=20 June 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140704073002/http://www.benefoot.net/love-is-blind-profiling-ajax-dutch-stalwart-daley-blind/|archive-date=4 July 2014|url-status=dead}} He signed his first professional contract at the age of 17, tying him to the club until 1 July 2010.{{cite web |url=http://english.ajax.nl/web/show/id=154814/contentid=62320 |title=Ajax sign Daley Blind |publisher=Ajax.nl |date=29 March 2007 |access-date=11 December 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080228050825/http://english.ajax.nl/web/show/id%3D154814/contentid%3D62320 |archive-date=28 February 2008 }}

On 7 December 2008, Blind made his debut in the Ajax first-team in the away match against FC Volendam. Blind made an immediate impact when he forced a corner kick through a Volendam defender, from which Jan Vertonghen scored the winning goal for Ajax. On 19 December 2008, he signed a contract extension keeping him with Ajax until 30 June 2013.{{cite web |url=http://english.ajax.nl/web/show/id=154814/contentid=68361 |title=New contract for Daley Blind |publisher=Ajax.nl |date=19 December 2008 |access-date=29 December 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090208231115/http://english.ajax.nl/web/show/id%3D154814/contentid%3D68361 |archive-date=8 February 2009 }}{{cite news |date=19 December 2008 |title=Daley Blind langer bij Ajax |trans-title=Daley Blind stays longer at Ajax. |url=http://www.telegraaf.nl/dft/bedrijven/afc_ajax/article2835957.ece?tabid=statgrafiek&tab=2,1,3,2,3,1,2 |work=De Telegraaf |language=nl}}{{Dead link|date=October 2022|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=yes}}

On 5 January 2010, he joined Groningen on loan for the remainder of the 2009–10 season, during the winter transfer window.{{cite web |url=http://english.ajax.nl/News/Archive/Article/Daley-Blind-on-loan-to-FC-Groningen.htm |title=Daley Blind on loan to FC Groningen |publisher=Ajax.nl |date=5 January 2010 |access-date=27 April 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100109033001/http://english.ajax.nl/News/Archive/Article/Daley-Blind-on-loan-to-FC-Groningen.htm |archive-date=9 January 2010 }} At Groningen, Blind was mainly used as a right back.{{cite web |date=26 March 2010 |title=Daley Blind maakt furore bij FC Groningen |trans-title=Daley Blind makes a splash at FC Groningen. |url=http://www.ajaxlife.nl/updates/daley-blind-maakt-furore-bij-fc-groningen |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903145352/http://www.ajaxlife.nl/updates/daley-blind-maakt-furore-bij-fc-groningen |archive-date=3 September 2014 |access-date=31 August 2014 |publisher=Ajax Life}} He was almost sold to Groningen for €1.5 million by Ajax on a permanent basis but the move did not materialize.

The following two seasons saw Blind contribute to two Eredivisie national championships with Ajax, for the 2010–11 season, and the 2011–12 season, the first of which would be Ajax's 30th championship title. However, Blind's performances when given the chance were unconvincing and he was even booed off the field in an Eredivisie game. Under newly appointed manager Frank de Boer, Blind would be given more and more trust and playing time, earning him the place as the first-choice left back with a permanent starting position during the 2012–13 season.{{cite web |date=20 November 2012 |title=Blind, exponent nieuw Ajax (Dutch) |trans-title=Blind, exponent of the new Ajax. |url=http://nos.nl/video/442809-blind-exponent-nieuw-ajax.html |access-date=6 February 2013 |publisher=NOS.nl}}

On 23 April 2013, it was announced by Marc Overmars that Ajax and Blind had reached an agreement to extend his contract for three years, binding him to the club until the summer of 2016.{{cite web |date=23 April 2013 |title=Blind verlengt contract bij Ajax (Dutch) |trans-title=Blind extends contract with Ajax. |url=http://www.ad.nl/ad/nl/1441/Ajax/article/detail/3430068/2013/04/22/Blind-verlengt-contract-bij-Ajax.dhtml |access-date=24 April 2013 |work=Algemeen Dagblad}} On 5 May, Blind contributed to Ajax's third Dutch Eredivisie title in a row, marking the club's 32nd national title, helping to defeat Willem II 5–0 at home, and securing the top position on the table just one match day from season's end. Later that day it was announced that Blind had been declared AFC Ajax Player of the Year for the 2012–13 season, after playing an outstanding fifth year for Ajax, from the starting left-back position.{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}

During the 2013–14 season, De Boer moved Blind back to his natural defensive central midfielder position and was named Dutch Footballer of the Year as Ajax won a fourth consecutive league title.{{cite news|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/players/player=319432/profile-detail.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140612023413/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/players/player=319432/profile-detail.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=12 June 2014|title=Daley Blind|access-date=17 June 2014|publisher=FIFA}}

Although throughout the previous season Blind was used as a defensive midfielder or left back, Blind started the season as a centre back, where he played for the majority of the season. On 12 September 2015, he scored his first goal of the season in a 3–1 win against Liverpool at Old Trafford, also being named man of the match for his performance.{{cite news |first=Phil |last=McNulty |title=Man Utd 3–1 Liverpool |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34160795 |publisher=BBC Sport (British Broadcasting Corporation) |date=12 September 2015 |access-date=13 September 2015 }}

He began the 2016–17 Premier League season as first-choice centre back alongside Chris Smalling, however, lost his place in the team following a return to form of Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo. He worked his way back to the first-team, but featured mostly at left back, replacing first-choice left-back Luke Shaw. He scored his first goal of the season against Sunderland on Boxing Day, charging into the box to connect with a pass from Zlatan Ibrahimović and finishing low into the bottom corner.{{Cite web |title=Manchester United 3 - 1 Sunderland Match report - 26/12/2016 Premier League - Goal.com |url=http://www.goal.com/en-gb/match/manchester-united-vs-sunderland/2241935 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20170321045235/http://www.goal.com/en-gb/match/manchester-united-vs-sunderland/2241935 |archive-date=2017-03-21 |access-date=2025-05-06 |website=www.goal.com |language=en-gb}} He started the Europa League final against his former team Ajax, which Manchester United won 2–0.{{Cite web |last=Sargeant |first=Jack |date=2017-05-24 |title=Blind, Fellaini and Mkhitaryan start vs. Ajax |url=https://thebusbybabe.sbnation.com/2017/5/24/15686214/manchester-united-vs-ajax-lineups-team-news-europa-league-final |access-date=2025-05-06 |website=The Busby Babe |language=en}}

Having had previous call-ups, Blind made his debut for the Netherlands senior team on 6 February 2013, in the starting left-back position, against Italy in a friendly at the Amsterdam Arena.
