Sneijder at United? Forget it, says Fergie

MANCHESTER UNITED manager Alex Ferguson says it is time to forget about signing Inter Milan’s Wesley Sneijder.

With Luka Modric and Samir Nasri seemingly bound for Chelsea and Manchester City, should they leave Tottenham and Arsenal this summer, Sneijder appeared the most obvious replacement for Paul Scholes.

Even though Ferguson denied having any current interest in the Dutch midfielder on Thursday, there has still been plenty of speculation about a deal, including a claim that shirt manufacturers Nike may get involved to push it through.
