Wesley Sneijder Will Sign For Man Utd Before The Weekend, Swear On My Nan’s Life
By Chris Wright
Bang! There, we said it. Sorry Nan.
The Sun are going big this morning with the proclamation that Wesley Sneijder’s £35 million move from Inter Milan to Manchester United will (‘will’, not ‘could’) be completed by the end of the week – maybe even as early as by end of play on Wednesday.
Pies’ gossip hound source whispered in our ears yesterday that United had entered low-level talks with Sneijder’s representatives over a move on Monday afternoon but that the meeting was ‘nothing to crow about’, though the Sun reckon the Dutchman is now all but ready to sign a ‘bumper contract that would eclipse even Wayne Rooney’s £220,000 a week’.
They even have word from a fortunately well-placed anonymous source, one of Sneijder’s Inter teammates no less:
“Everyone expects Wesley’s move to United to be announced soon, maybe as early as Wednesday.
“[Wesley] has even spoken to Dutch international team-mate Nigel de Jong to find out where are the best places to live in Manchester. It all looks imminent, no matter what Inter or Wesley may say in public.
“It seems Inter want to sell but don’t want to admit it, while Wesley wants to go but doesn’t want to say it. It’s a good move for him and good business for Inter.”
Yes, the fee seems a little hefty for a 27-year old who, regardless of his obvious talents, will have relatively little resale value in a few years’ time yadda yadda yadda – but United are pining for a bit of creativity in the middle and the Premier League product could definitely use a ‘Hollywood’ name or two at the moment, Sneijder ticks both of those boxes.
Good to see Nigel de Jong doing his bit to strengthen City’s beloved next-door neighbours too.

Only rumors so far, doubt he will join MU but then Fergie definitely needs a top midfielder, and with Nasri looking to stay at AFC then he could splash the cash to get him
Ehh, could be joining City, I wouldn’t put it past them.
WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Shhhmoke & a pancake….
this is just a direct copy and paste from the SUN, the most unreliable tabloid out there. It is a tabloid, not a newspaper, and also regularly posts loch ness monster sighting articles in addition to conspiracy theories. Just by associating itself with The Sun is showing that this website is already going downhill a la tribalfootball
why diss the site? unless it’s a done deal, it’s going to be gossip. that said, i’ve been waiting for sneijder to join since his ajax days. now if we could only sign that bale kid from southampton…
