Inter Milan star Wesley Sneijder has not given up hope of making a dream move to Premier League club Manchester United.

Sneijder has reportedly told friends that his failed move to Manchester United could still happen in the New Year.
 
The ‘Sunday Mirror’ reported that United pulled out of a deal for the Dutch international midfielder when the scale of his demands became too extravagant.
 
The Premier League champions had agreed a £30 million fee with Inter Milan, only for Sneijder to up the ante by asking United to lay on a private jet and buy his house in Italy.

That prompted United boss Sir Alex Ferguson to call time on his summer-long chase for the 27-year-old, according to the report.
 
But Sneidjer has told people close to him that a move to Old Trafford could be resurrected in January.

A source said: “Wesley wanted to go to United and was in negotiations until quite late. They couldn’t agree terms but he is still saying he will end up at United.”

Inter were so desperate to get Sneijder off the payroll that they also offered him to United’s rivals City.

However, City boss Roberto Mancini told his Etihad Stadium bosses that he was not interested in linking up again with Sneijder, the report added.
 
And when Inter enquired for a third and final time last month with an offer to use Sneijder as a makeweight in a deal for Carlos Tevez, they were once again rebuffed, it has been revealed.
