Manchester United fans name the player they regret leaving Old Trafford

Manchester United fans watching the UEFA Nations League semi-final between England and the Netherlands on Thursday night would have seen a few familiar faces starring for the Dutch side.

The Dutch team had a certain Memphis Depay leading the line after he turned around his career away from Old Trafford.

The 25-year-old has registered 33 goals in his 91 games for the French side and he looked the part after a shaky opening against the Three Lions.

But it was another former United man who fans were wishing was still with the club. Daley Blind was one of the outstanding performers as Holalnd progressed to the final of the competition with a 3-1 extra-time victory.

Blind only left United for £18.5millon last July but he has been an integral part of the Ajax side that reached the Champions League semi-final while also becoming one of the key men in Ronald Koeman's Dutch team.

The 29-year-old was the source of much frustration during his time at United and that has continued after his departure with many wondering why the club had allowed him to leave last year.

Typical

Welcomed back anytime

And depay

He has a football brain

We have got worse
