DUTCH DUO ... Rafael van der Vaart has confirmed Wesley Sneijder's desire to move to England
RAFAEL VAN DER VAART admits Holland team-mate Wesley Sneijder is keen to play in the Premier League.
Manchester United have not given up hope of agreeing a deal for Inter Milan midfielder Sneijder before the transfer window closes.
And Van der Vaart, who lined up alongside Sneijder at Ajax and Real Madrid, has confirmed his good friend is interested in moving to England.
The Tottenham star said: "Of course he would like to play here, it's the biggest league in the world.
"He is a good friend of mine and we have contact almost every day. He knows what to expect in the Premier League."
Van der Vaart also claims United will be in pole position to reclaim the title if they land Sneijder.
Asked whether he would be playing against his fellow Dutchman this season, he replied: "I hope not because Man Utd are going to be stronger.
"But he's a great player and he fits in well at Man Utd."
