 Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen says signing Wesley Sneijder is still possible... Manchester United remain keen on signing Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder, but whether they will succeed before Wednesday's deadline is another story. Sneijder, 27, has told the media that anything is possible, but says he is unlikely to move at this stage. Massimo Moratti stated they will still sell if there is the opportunity, and United coach Rene Meulensteen believes Wes can still sign for the Premier League Champions if he still wants to. The saga has continued throughout the summer, with a rumoured £35 Million transfer set to take place before the close of the window. As yet, nothing has come to fruition, but there is still time left. Sir Alex Ferguson admitted interest in Sneijder, while CEO David Gill said there is the possibility of a 'world-class' footballer arriving at Old Trafford before September 1st. However, with wage demands of more than £200,000 per week, are we going to buy Sneijder ? "I am happy in Milan." Sneijder said. "We will see what happens. At this point, I don't think I will move. But, on the other hand, my move to Real Madrid was solved within eight hours. It would be very strange if something happened now. Things can move fast, but there is nothing going on behind the scenes." Inter owner Mr. Moratti added: "Firstly, Wesley Sneijder is still with us. But until August 31st, there is always opportunity for something to happen." United coach Meulensteen - from Sneijder's home country of Holland - also had his say: "Sir Alex Ferguson has tremendous confidence in our current squad, but a player the calibre of Wesley Sneijder could well suit us. And, where there is a will, there’s always a way. As club and player really want it, there is always something possible. I do not see why an older player like Sneijder would not fit into our team."

Agreed with Andy, if we need a centre midfielder, we should be younger and cheaper. Gotze in a couple of years will be perfect. Sam 30/08/2011 12:42pm
His salary demands are too high Jackie 30/08/2011 1:05pm
I really do hope we bolster the midfield by tomorrow deadline. Sneijder or Gotze or any other world class player is what we need. Some Utd supporters have been completely dilusional saying we dont need Sneijder, we dont need to replace Schloes, we've got Cleverly. Are they for real? Cleverly is class and will only get better but he's a long way off Schloes or Sneijfer and when we get humiliated in the champions league again by Barcelona we'll rue the day when we never signed a top class midfielder when we had the chance.

This would be fantastic if it happens :) brent 30/08/2011 1:16pm
would love him to come but glad theres only two days left had enough!!!!! U-TON 30/08/2011 1:57pm
if we want 2 hav any chance of beating barca then we need a player of immense calibre n experience lyk sneijder who in fact has tasted success against barca in d champions league b4 Xxx 30/08/2011 2:18pm
Absolutely bang on Jackie n U Ton, no doubt in what you guys are saying.... Xxx 30/08/2011 3:05pm
Hargreaves deal to Shitty definitely happening, not happy with that situation at all really....WTF David 30/08/2011 4:35pm
Come on fergie get him I still believe X 30/08/2011 4:39pm
Hargreaves to city is a total slap in the face for every united supporter who cheered him on for the last couple of seasons it's a total lack of respect DEVO 30/08/2011 4:46pm
Cant complain that Hargreaves is thinkin about City, short career even more so being injury prone. Take the money and run buddy, remember Man U let him go !!! triggerlo 30/08/2011 5:00pm
i go with jackie. man utd need a world class midfielder and cleverly aint gonna fit in that shoes. cleverly is good a player but man utd can not rely on him on big games like a game between barcelona or real madrid.....we need wes sneijder or mario gotze Terry 30/08/2011 6:09pm
We should just buy him we need an older more experienced player, especially one of his calibre. Kay 30/08/2011 7:01pm
Why would we care about Hargreaves. When u leave United the only way is down. We don't want him so why would we be bothered who has him. If it was a player we cared about then it would be different. If he goes it will be a match made in Hell. ryan item 30/08/2011 8:21pm
Yes sneijder would be the perfecct man Olaniyi 30/08/2011 8:26pm
If We get Sneijder i think i will be the happiest man on earth to see that..I am sure if SAF want to get him he will do it..there some matches where we will need a Player Like him in the central midfield if we face the like of Madrid , Chelsea Barca and Bayern..i think its gonna be a perfect addition to the team ROBERT UG- If Sneidjer is signed ithink we can stop the current Man city. For me i knw its only Mancity to stop Utd. 30/08/2011 8:30pm
Graham Levins 30/08/2011 8:31pm
the current squad is good enough to retain the prem but city will push the whole way whether we like it or not, if we want to win the champs league, it needs to be taken to the next level and that means we need wes schneider Redboy 30/08/2011 8:38pm
Don't think sneijder will come, lost interest in him now!!Owen Hargreaves to shity?u fool, if u want money n no games- go to shity, if love to play the game - go to QPR, that's y SAF is letting the greedy bugger go n is fed up with Sneijder. Andy 30/08/2011 8:46pm
Sneijder would be the final piece of the jigsaw, I agree without him Utd with the squad they have have a great chance of retaining the title, champions league not so sure, Utd need a world class midfielder, even two!! Nasri could be one that got away? D-MAn 30/08/2011 8:46pm
we simply need sneider ryt now, if we want the champions league! No questions axed... He's the only missing link in an almost perfect team!! Andy 30/08/2011 8:57pm
Nasri could be one that got away? Sneijder surely shouldn't be, after all the media talk over summer that he was linked with utd, after all didn't hear any other creditable team interested in signing him!! Wages are a problem, but sometimes you have to pay for the best, sneijder is world class, just sign him up, he would certainly educate cleverly and help him become a top player for utd and England Big Kev. 30/08/2011 11:32pm
Defo should sign Sneijder, marquee signing and final piece in the jigsaw ! Goals added from midfield with his signing. Gutted about Hargreaves signing for shitty citeh !! Kick in the balls to all United fans - the tosser !!! Ryan 31/08/2011 12:39am
I would have Wes and clev in midfield... Ando has been great so far, but can't match up to sneijder Mishal 31/08/2011 2:26am
Pllllzzzz just buy him we need a superstar screw the money maybe wes will help us to lift the champions cup, the league is so long and we need that kind of players 31/08/2011 7:34am

Sign the man fergie sell berbatov and u got half he's wages a week we have enough up front plus hell leave on a free next year plus think wes and Rooney together would b fantastic l33bo 31/08/2011 10:30am
cum on fergie buy him he wants to join us. let's get the deal done and win this European cup Marc 31/08/2011 12:29pm
Well, City are not playing exactly good, yet they are beating their opponents and scoring goals for fun.. United, I feel we are playing quite well now and frankly I cannot see the Young ones improving much from this season. p 31/08/2011 12:32pm
Its not going to happen is it? No Sneijder deal. Fergie with his blinkers on again, he only wants Premiership title not interested in winning Champions League. Where's the marquee signings for thes so called biggest club in the country, big name players don't want to play for Fergie. With the spending power City have it looks like it will be at 30 more years before we win the Champions League again Marc 31/08/2011 12:38pm
to p ...... Joe T 31/08/2011 12:41pm
United have never bought a european-proven player and we never will cos we dont need them. Ronaldo wasnt proven, cantona wasnt proven. United dont need marquee signings adlong as we have fergie he raises young inexperienced players into champions! GGMU!!! d d c 31/08/2011 12:58pm
we need him sir piz if i see somebody like him in uor game i willy be vr vr hapy to see him piz sir get him for the fans like piz do it nom tks pP 31/08/2011 1:15pm
Marc Marc 31/08/2011 1:23pm
Well P, smudge 31/08/2011 4:56pm
Rooney was right Utd have no ambition to win the CL 3 European Cups in 60 odd years is a pathetic return for a club of this size. Why hasn't Ferguson signed Sneijder? Oh I forgot he's getting old his judgement is clouded he'd rather sign duds like Bebe, Djemba Djemba, Kleberson, Diouff, Obertan than sign a class player like Sneijder. And I wouldn't mind betting that Hargreaves will end up proving Fergie wrong either after all look how well the majority of players who Fergie let go have done Rossi, Ronaldo, Forlan, Piquet,Tevez need I say more? Tanimu 31/08/2011 5:27pm
Please I don't want to hear more about this saga, if Sneijder didn't come I belioeve United will still thrive. Ivan 31/08/2011 5:35pm
Wes would fit perfectly, we need experience and talent. Cleverly has talent but in the big games experience trumps talent. norred 31/08/2011 5:45pm
@smudge. Your "ambition" of being a United supporter is disgraceful. Jog on. Prince Sarpong 31/08/2011 5:51pm
We seriously need an offensive midfielder n one strong left back..this season will not be easy and we will not want to having problems chuks 31/08/2011 5:51pm
pls sir alex u have to hurry and get sneijder bcoz manutd need a central midfielder.this is my suggestion Nanaquame 31/08/2011 5:53pm
I think he will be a better fit for the club should we sign him Bill McNeal 31/08/2011 6:40pm

I feel totally pissed off I really thought we had him I hope we don't live 2 regret it Marc 31/08/2011 8:12pm
Well, its game over.. no more signings Marc 31/08/2011 8:24pm
I think Fergie must have decided to give the young ones a gamble...and I hope it will pay off. Anyway, I never doubt the talents we have, just worried about the inexperience.. Nevermind now... Red Eric 31/08/2011 8:29pm
Smudge I agree with you we should have signed Sneijder and unitedtillidie is a wanker another twat who's got a gobby opinion but has probably never been within a 100 miles of OT PD 31/08/2011 8:40pm
My disappointment over Sneijder not coming to OT is slightly tempered by the prospect of Fergie giving Cleverley and Anderson a real go in the middle of the park this season. Of course they'll be games where they're not at the races but throw in a fully fit Fletcher plus Giggs when needed and it's not all bad. Unitedtillidie 31/08/2011 9:14pm
Smudge and red Eric we'll talk at end of season when u praise SAF and our young midfielders u dicks its easy to criticise but real fans always behind their club I think u both are glory hunters n u fucking red Eric I stay right in oldtrafford where I can c theatre of dreams right from my house so shut ur fucking gob ....... Gloryhunters Red Eric 31/08/2011 9:46pm
Unitedtillidie I see most people on here are disappointed that SAF has not signed Sneijder that puts you in the minority you gobby little twat. Anyway you'll soon be back to school you tosser Mikeyy 31/08/2011 10:05pm

SAF sure know how to throw away the premiership !!! WTF didn't he buy sneijder !! I am really fuck off now !!!!! Bill McNeal 31/08/2011 11:48pm
Like I said, some absolute dregs post on this site. John 01/09/2011 2:55am
I love united. The only reason I am upset that we didnt land Wes is due to Europe. I have no doubts we can do this domestically. But I'm sorry to say we got raped in the CL final this year and it was due to our midfield not linking up with attack. just because i am a united Fan it does not mean i only have to praise, I can criticise to, i am speaking about Michael carricks inability to control the midfield, I personally believe that Michaels only good performance in his career was (roma 7-1). Michael deserves to go back to west ham. If we meet Barcelona again, with the likes of xavi, iniesta, messi pedro , villa and not to mention FABREGAS and SANCHEZ, we will not only we raped, but embarrassed and humiliated once more. Senijder would have brang a touch of Zidane, lothar mathaus, ardiles, xavi etc to the team. Without this, we cannot beat Barcelona. I’m sorry guys, that’s a fact. I would have taken scholes over senijder any day of the week. He was a saving grace to our midfield, Ryan is only getting older. You tell me what are we gonna do here? how are we going to compete with that barcelona team? Please provide a logical explanation, how? We need to get on par with livershits CL trophy haul michael 02/09/2011 6:49pm
there was no beckham,giggs,scholes,neville,ronaldo n even rooney if sir alex didnt give them a chances...i think sir alex know what he want to do,last time ronaldinho was in MU radar but MU still fine without him...juz hope young talents will grow faster so that MU can rule the world!!! charlie 02/09/2011 8:42pm
Billy McNeal judging by the comments on here the only dregs are you and Mikeyy what a pair of dicks you must be scousers jog on Comments are closed. |
