Take a look at the history behind the shirt…
Daley Blind (2014 to 2018)
The Dutchman wore no.17 for United during his four-season stay at the club, following his arrival from Dutch giants Ajax in the summer of 2014. The versatile defender scored six goals in 141 Reds appearances and won four major trophies during his time at Old Trafford – including the UEFA Europa League, when United beat his current club Ajax 2-0 in the 2017 final in Stockholm.
