Tweet

The sporting director of Ajax, Marc Overmars has revealed that Daley Blind's transfer to Manchester United was done by email.



He said the move that saw the Dutch player joined the Red Devils in 2014 for €18m was done via email and there was no meeting.

He added that Manchester United did not fly to Ajax to bargain the fee.

"In the past, a transfer like Daley Blind's to Manchester United was precluded by lengthy negotiations," Overmars told De Telegraaf.

"We did not even sit down around the table now. The entire transfer was done by email.

"When Manchester United agreed to meet our asking price, I asked our financial director and legal department to deal with the paper work and that was it.

"That just goes to show big clubs like Manchester United do not get overly worried about such big transfer fees."
