Sneijder semakin hampir ke Old trafford

Inter open the door for United
Manchester United were last night given the green light to make a £35million bid for Wesley Sneijder, as Inter Milan admitted they are considering selling the Dutch midfielder. Sir Alex Ferguson's quest for Sneijder appeared to have gone cold when the former Real Madrid schemer suggested he planned to stay at the San Siro. But new Inter coach Gian Piero Gasperini is now ready to sell the 27-year-old after completing the £10.8million capture of Arsenal target Ricky Alvarez from Argentine champions Velez Sarsfield. 

That opens the door for Fergie to make his move and land Sneijder as the final piece of his summer transfer jigsaw.

Meanwhile, The Sun claim another of United’s rumoured top transfer targets, Samir Nasri, is on the brink of signing for Manchester City. The paper says he’s close to agreeing a £150,000-a-week deal, in a move that will cost the Blues an additional £20million for his signature.

The Telegraph, and other outlets, report on former United midfielder Owen Hargreaves’ decision to upload numerous exercise videos to the internet. Rory Smith writes: “Owen Hargreaves has resorted to YouTube in a last, desperate effort to salvage his injury-ravaged career, uploading a serious of videos to the website in a novel attempt to prove his fitness to would-be employers.”
