The 24-year-old Dutch was part of Van Gaal Netherlands squad that reached the semi-finals of the World Cup in Brazil where he played a crucial role.
When asked if he would like a move to England he maintained that he was happy at Ajax but if a deal came along he wouldn’t hold back. He said: “I am happy here in Amsterdam. But if there comes another club I will have to think about it and then we will see.
“I will think about my options. For now I will focus on Ajax and we will see what happens next week,” he said.
The 2012-13 League Champions are in dire need of some well-known holding midfielder to suit the 3-5-2 formation preferred by the new manager as the likes of Arturo Vidal is being associated with the role but no concrete move has been made so far.
However, Ajax boss Frank De Boar is confident that Blind will stick around for another season in Amsterdam. He said: “I am convinced he will make the right choice. If he goes to a big club then he has definitely deserved it. But I think it would be better if he stays one year. Last year was a good year for him but I think he can improve a lot with us.
De Boar also mentioned that he would be powerless if a stronger club makes a bid as the player would be sold. “If a club comes along with a lot of money it is almost impossible to say no. But we won’t let him go for free that is for sure. It is important for the player and the club that there is no tension or that it happens at the last minute.”
Manchester United will start their Premier League campaign this year on Saturday as they face the Wales’ side Swansea City.
