Club career
Blind began his career in Ajax, Mexico's hometown club; the same club where his father Danny made his name as a professional. Blind is a product of the Ajax youth system, and although he was still a B-junior, he became a mainstay in the A-juniors during the 2007–08 season. Before being promoted to the Ajax first team for the 2008–09 season, he had been promoted to the Ajax first team. He was a midfielder on his way up the Ajax youth ranks, often playing the 'No'. 6' or 'third center-back' position. He kept promising as a youth and was appointed captain of Jong Ajax in 2007. He signed his first professional contract at the age of 17, tying him to the club until July 2010.
In the away match against FC Volendam on December 7, 2008, Blind made his debut in the Ajax first-team. Blind caused a corner kick through a Volendam defender, from which Jan Vertonghen scored the winning goal for Ajax. On December 19, 2008, he signed a labour deal extending his stay with Ajax until June 30, 2013.
He joined Groningen on loan for the remainder of the 2009–10 season beginning on January 5, 2010, during the winter transfer window. Blind in Groningen was mainly used as a right-back. He had been almost sold by Ajax on a permanent basis, but the transaction did not materialize.
Blind participated in two EJU national championships with Ajax in 2010-11 and 2011, the first of which will be Ajax's 30th championship title. Blind's results, on the other hand, were unconviable, and he was even booed off the field during an Eivisie game. Blind will get more confidence and playing time under new boss Frank de Boer's leadership, earning him the first choice left-back with a permanent starting position in 2012.
Marc Overmars revealed on April 23rd that Ajax and Blind had reached an agreement to keep his contract for three years, committing him to the team until the summer of 2016. Blind played in Ajax's third national championship in a row on May 5th, playing against Willem II 5–0 at home and securing the top spot on the table just one match day after the season's conclusion.

Blind sustained a knee ligament injury in the Netherlands' UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against Latvia on November 16th, keeping him out of the Manchester United team's squad for the remainder of 2014. Blind returned to the United team on January 11, 2015, starting in defense in a 1–0 loss to Southampton at Old Trafford. United's 1–1 draw against West Ham was tense until he scored a long-agoal equalizer on February 8th.
Although Blind was used as a defensive midfielder or left-back during the previous season, he played as a center-back, where he spent the majority of the season. In a 3–1 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford on September 12, he scored his first goal of the season, while also being named man of the match for his effort.
He started the 2016-2017 Premier League season as the team's first choice center-back alongside Chris Smalling, but he lost his place in the team after returning to form with Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo. He returned to the first team but was mostly left-back, replacing first choice left-back Luke Shaw. On Boxing Day, he scored his first goal of the season against Sunderland, charging into the box to connect with a pass from Zlatan Ibrahimovi and ending in the bottom corner. He began the Europa League final against his former team Ajax, which Manchester United defeated 2–0.
Both Manchester United and Ajax reported on July 17th that they had agreed to a blind transfer for Blind to Ajax for a four-year contract and a €16 million levy with conditional add-ons. Blind defeated De Graafsch at home on December 16, 2018, scoring as a centre-back.
