Manchester United put off by Inter Milan's £35 million valuation of Wesley Sneijder
Manchester United fear the financial cost is becoming a growing obstacle in their attempt to sign the Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder alhough it is understood the Dutchman could yet move to Old Trafford if the Italian club relent on their £35 million valuation.
Sneijder.
Senior figures at United suggested that interest in the 27 year-old had ended and that Sneijder’s £190,000-a-week salary demands would break the club’s pay ceiling.
Sir Alex Ferguson, speaking in Seattle last night, hinted at the barriers which have led United to review their moves to sign Sneijder. He said: "There is no real interest in Sneijder at this moment in time for a lot of reasons. I’ve not been involved in that since I came over here."
Pointedly, however, Ferguson did not say that the deal might not eventually happen.
Ferguson also dismissed concerns over the inexperience of Manchester United’s 20-year-old summer recruit, David de Gea, by claiming the Spanish goalkeeper can emulate Chelsea’s Petr Cech in the Premier League.
De Gea, who signed for £18.3 million from Atlético Madrid, is due to link up with his new team-mates here this weekend after being signed to replace Edwin van der Sar.
