Manchester United have agreed a fee with Ajax for versatile Netherlands international Daley Blind.
Blind, 24, was in Louis van Gaal's World Cup squad and can play at left-back and as a defensive midfielder.
Personal terms are still to be agreed but if the deal does go through he will be United's fifth summer signing.
United have already spent over £130m this summer, including a British record £59.7m on Argentina midfielder Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid.
The Old Trafford club have also bought left-back Luke Shaw, midfielder Ander Herrera and Di Maria's Argentina team-mate Marcos Rojo for a combined £72m this summer.
United have been linked with Blind throughout the summer but Ajax director of football Marc Overmars said he was reluctant to sell him unless the Premier League side met their valuation, reportedly in the region of £14m.
