Manchester United living legend Paul Scholes doubts that Ajax left-back Daley Blind will be able to cope with the physicality of the Premier League, ahead of the latter's impending move to Old Trafford.

"I'm not too sure what position he is going to play in," said the 39-year-old.

"I don't think he is strong enough for a left-back in England."

The Dutch international's strength is his ability to play multiple positions, but Scholes believes that such is also his weakness.

"We don't really know what position he is," he added.

"United are not in a position now to be taking risks. They need proper central midfield players."

"They obviously haven't fancied them or haven't been able to get them."

"I think he's a really good footballer but is he a central midfielder?"

United have posted on its official website that there has been meeting of the minds between them and Ajax, and that further requisites must be met for the transfer to push through.

"Manchester United is delighted to announce it has reached agreement with Ajax to sign Daley Blind, subject to a medical and personal terms," the statement read.
