Wesley Sneijder wants Manchester United move

Last updated : 09 August 2011 By Daily Mail

The Inter Milan star has been linked with a move to Old Trafford all summer and revealed at the weekend he could be sold for the right price.

The 27-year-old is also reportedly on the radar of Manchester City but he appears to be more interested in their arch-rivals.

Asked if he was keen on a move to Manchester United, Sneijder said in a video interview with nos.nl, he said: 'Yes, but Manchester United haven't made an official approach yet.

'There have been unofficial talks, there have been contacts, but then there are always contacts. I have contacts with everybody.'

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has denied making a contract offer to Sneijder, who insisted it was more likely he would stay with Inter than leave before the transfer window closes.

He said: 'The situation is that I am now an Inter player, and chances are that I will still be that come August 31. There is also a chance I could leave.

'That isn't really down to me but the club. I think Inter have been very clear: if a good offer comes in, they have to let me go.

'They don't want to lose me but there is a chance they will let me go.

'If something crosses my path, I have enough time to make my decision.'

Sneijder was speaking before Holland's friendly against England on Wednesday was cancelled due to the scale of the London riots.

Asked whether he was planning to stay behind in the UK for talks, he said: 'I don't know.'

International team-mate Rafael van der Vaart believes close friend Sneijder would be a good fit for United.

Tottenham talisman Van der Vaart, who played with Sneijder at both Ajax and Real Madrid, told Sky Sports News: 'Of course he would like to play in England, it's the biggest league in the world.

'He is a good friend of mine and we have contact almost every day. He knows what to expect in the Premier League.'

When asked if he would be playing against Sneijder this season, he replied: 'I hope not because Man U are going to be stronger.

'But he's a great player and he would fit in well at Man U.'
