No deal for Sneijder
Sir Alex Ferguson insists that no deal is imminent to sign Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder.
The 27-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford all summer following the retirement of Paul Scholes.
But the boss maintains there is no agreement in place at present to bring the Dutch international to Old Trafford.
"I couldn't tell you [what's happening]," Sir Alex told reporters at a press conference on arrival on Seattle.
"I've not really been involved in it since we've come to America. There's no real interest at this moment in time in Wesley Sneijder for a lot of reasons. There's nothing I can tell you about it."
Sir Alex was quizzed further about any other potential new signings to add to the three he has already made - Phil Jones, Ashley Young and David De Gea. But the manager insists there is nothing new to report on that front.
"Nothing's imminent at this moment in time. Obviously we're trying but we've signed three players and we're very comfortable with that," he added.
"They're three tremendous young players to add to the squad I have from last year – and we've people coming back form loan periods like Welbeck, Cleverley, Diouf and Macheda.
"We've signed Phil Jones, Ashley Young, David de Gea... we've filled the gaps we've needed to fill. The one we're having difficulty replacing is Paul Scholes, which is always going to be hard.
"I don't think we'll find a Scholes but we'll find a different type of player because Manchester United do that. Time and time again we've faced this problem when we've lost great players. Eventually something turns up, either through our youth system or we identify someone.
"We're also analysing the young players in the youth team – what their capabilites will be, and we'll give them that opportunity.
"Scholes is a player of a lifetime. In his 20 years at the club it's hard to pick out a bad game. He was such a great, consistent player for us but hopefully we can replace him."
sorry, i know how hard that must have been for you!
