But Inter star insists that he is
happy in Milan, while Rafael van
der Vaart takes a swipe at the
northern city, claiming all the
players come to London in their
free time
Inter playmaker Wesley Sneijder
has fuelled speculation linking
him with Manchester United by
describing the club as 'beautiful'.
The Dutch international has long
been linked with Sir Alex
Ferguson’s side - dubbed a
potentional long-term
replacement for the aging Paul
Scholes - and it appears Sneijder
could be ready to contemplate a
move to the Premier League, but
insists that he is content will
playing in Milan.
Speaking on Dutch regional
television Studio Ajax: "Do I
want to go to United? It's a
beautiful club. But I'm fine in
Milano and not at the point to
think about it."
Sneijder has been the attention
of many potential suitors this
season following a star showing
last season, in which he helped
inspire Inter to their first ever
treble and also was the focal
point of the Netherlands side
which reached the World Cup
final.
Nonetheless, Inter president
Massimo Morratti has played
down the chances of the Dutch
international leaving the San
Siro.
Speaking about the specualtion
last month, the Italian confirmed
United's interest, but played
down talk of a transfer.
“The interest from Manchester
United in Sneijder is real,” said
Moratti. “But I didn’t look into it.
My only interest is seeing
Sneijder play here for many
more years to come.”
Meanwhile, Tottenham forward
Rafael van der Vaart was also a
guest on the TV show and joked
that players from Manchester
were looking to move to London
and suggested Sneijder would be
wise to do the same.
He said: "All the players from
Man United and City are coming
to the city of London in their
own time. I think that says
enough about that city
[Manchester]."
