Arsenal have reportedly expressed an interest in Manchester United utility man Daley Blind amid rumours that Jose Mourinho is looking to offload the Dutchman.

Blind, a £16m signing in 2014, played the majority of last season at centre-back for the Red Devils, but new boss Mourinho allegedly believes that he is too small for the role.

According to Sky Sports News, the rumours have alerted Arsene Wenger, who is hoping to strengthen his own backline ahead of the 2016-17 Premier League season.

Blind, who began his career at Dutch giants Ajax, has 36 caps for the Netherlands.
