Bayern Munich set to sign former Man Utd star in strangest January transfer yet

Former Manchester United star Daley Blind is set to join Bayern Munich, shortly after ending his second stint at Ajax by mutual consent.

Blind, 32, played more than 100 Eredivisie games after returning to the Johan Cruijff ArenA from Old Trafford in 2018. He and the club agreed to an early contract termination in December, though, and now looks to make a surprise return to the Champions League after Ajax's group stage elimination.

The versatile defender, who can also play in midfield, was a regular for the Netherlands as they reached the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. His arrival in Munich will help Bayern cover for the absence of regular left-back Lucas Hernandez, who suffered an ACL injury playing for France at the tournament.
