Manchester United poised to make a swoop for Wasley Sneijder | Manchester Evening News - menmedia.co.uk.
Wasley Sneijder could have played his last game for Inter Milan with United ready to make a swoop before the Serie A season opens.
The Dutch playmaker has been on the champions’ radar all summer despite mixed messages from the Italian club.
One minute they’ve left the door for an exit open, the next they’ve slammed it shut in potential buyers’ faces.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has also been coy publicly but is believed not to have completely ended his interest.
Sneijder did not go with Inter’s 20-man squad for last night’s friendly in Geneva against Olympiakos.
He missed the final pre-season game of Inter’s summer due to personal reasons, according to the club.
New coach Gian Piero Gasperini is preparing Inter in Switzerland for their Serie A opening match of the campaign in the San Siro against Lecce next Sunday.
Sneijder remained behind to spark speculation that a departure is imminent.
Whatever, United are still keen to make one final attempt to land the 27-year-old.
They have been encouraged by reports that the Holland international has knocked back approaches from City to lure him to the Etihad Stadium.
The Blues are said to have been keen on a deal that took Carlos Tevez to Inter as part of a package to add Sneijder to Roberto Mancini’s squad.
The midfielder is not interested in moving to Manchester to join City but is believed to have been open to a switch to Old Trafford throughout the saga over his future.
Gasperini wants the affair done and dusted before Inter start their Italian League programme this weekend four days before the summer transfer window shuts and Champions League squads have to be sent to UEFA.
