The Dutch international is no stranger to speculation linking him away from the reigning European champions with Old Trafford being one of the possible destinations. United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is known to be a huge admirer of the 26-year-old and sees him as the perfect replacement for the retiring Paul Scholes. And Inter president Massimo Moratti has revealed contact from the Red Devils regarding Sneijder but insisted the midfielder is going nowhere.
"The interest from Manchester United in Sneijder is real," said Moratti, according to The Daily Mirror. "But I didn't look into it. My only interest is seeing Sneijder play here for many more years to come."A deal for Sneijder remains possible though, but United must be prepared to meet the player's valuation of £40 million on top of his £140,000-a-week wages demands as his contract only expires in 2015.
