Sneijder insists he won’t be a pawn in Ronaldo saga

REAL Madrid midfielder Wesley Sneijder has dismissed suggestions he could join Manchester United as part of a player plus swap deal that would see Cristiano Ronaldo move in the opposite direction, insisting he wants to stay at the Spanish giants.

There have been claims that the Dutch midfielder could be used as bait in Real’s protracted bid to secure the signing of Ronaldo.

Sneijder enjoyed an impressive first season at Real after arriving from Ajax and says he has no plans to leave the Spanish champions.
