#2 Daley Blind
Many Manchester United faithful desperately wants to move on from Jose Mourinho's park the bus-legacy and, yet the board decided to let go of Blind who arguably could become their most creative and most productive attack-minded center back.
The Dutch defender had been pretty much hopeless in his last season for the Red Devils and eventually sold to Ajax for €15.8 million. Now he has been reborn after joined his boyhood club Ajax as he has nearly started all of the Dutch giant's matches.
A lethal defender capable of filling different positions equally well, Blind has formed a formidable partnership with Dutch sensation Matthijs de Ligt at the heart of Ajax's defense. He has slotted seamlessly in Ajax beautiful-attacking football scheme and has involved in incredible 7 league goals as a defender.
He has also been a key part for Ajax's magical Champions League journey. His defensive stats are also mostly better than Phil Jones and Smalling as he has 2.1 tackles and 1.5 intercepts on average in all competitions.
