Show cash for Sneijder: Inter tells United

Massimo Moratti has turned up the heat on Manchester United by challenging them to back their interest in Wesley Sneijder with hard cash, according to the 'Daily Mail'.

The Inter Milan president gave United fresh hope of landing their top midfield target,

As attempts continue to try and find a compromise over Sneijder’s sky-high wages, it seems certain Inter are ready to accept any offers of around £35 million for one of the stars of last summer’s World Cup finals.

But Moratti pointedly let it be known that he has yet to receive a single bid for the attacking Holland midfielder. The Inter chief also appeared to dismiss recent claims that Manchester City have proposed an exchange deal involving transfer-seeking striker Carlos Tevez.

Asked whether Sneijder would still be an Inter player at the start of next season, Moratti shrugged and said: "That is something I would like to know, but I don’t.

"I hope he will stay, but when you look at the market at this moment, there are a lot of rumours, a lot of suggestions about him joining another club.

"But I can tell you no-one from Manchester has made us an offer. In fact, we haven’t had an offer from any club. For all the stories, there is no sign of anyone placing any money on the table."
