Sneijder to United: “anything is possible”

Published

Wesley Sneijder is staying at Inter Milan.

Premier League champions Manchester United were keen to take the Holland international to Old Trafford, while big-spending Manchester City have also been monitoring developments.

But according to the Sun, Sneijder has now drawn a line under the speculation.

He said: "I'm staying at Inter. I don't think I'll leave at this moment. Manchester United? Anything is possible in football, but I don't think this time something will happen. I know that if I were to leave it would have be for the right price, Inter were clear about that. However, I have not spoken formally with the two Manchester clubs."

But Manchester United fans are not worried about getting Wesley because they have got Cleverley.

The faithful raised a banner in support of their homegrown 22-year-old star who has come from nowhere to make a stunning impact on United this season.
"Who needs Wesley? We've got Cleverley" it read.

But did the young man himself catch sight of it?

Cleverley told The Sun: "I did! Wesley Sneijder is fantastic but if the fans think that I must be doing something right."

The Basingstoke-born lad has been at United since he was 12. Loan spells at Leicester, Watford and Wigan have turned him into a man.

Cleverley chose No '23' because Becks still wears it.

He said: "The manager offered me 22 or 23. I prefer wearing odd numbers.”
