Fergie cool on Sneijder talk

14 July 2011 14:18
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has denied any interest in Wesley Sneijder amid reports of a £35million deal being close.[LNB] Ferguson has been reading English press reports that the Dutchman has agreed terms with the Old Trafford club, but the United boss claims there is no truth in the rumours.[LNB]"I keep reading about this, there's absolutely nothing at all to that [reports of United's interest in the player]," he told ESPN Soccernet Press Pass. "First of all I don't think Inter are prepared to sell him anyway.[LNB]"You get conjecture and you get speculation every week in newspapers unfortunately. And we have to answer these for some reason - why, I don't know, but we have to find a reason without adding insult to any particular club, or embarrassing any particular player. There's nothing we can do about it."[LNB]Reports had suggested that United chief executive David Gill has been in Milan thrashing out a deal with club and player, but United have since confirmed that Gill was heading to Zurich for a European Club Association meeting.[LNB]Inter have insisted that Sneijder is not for sale but rumours persist that the Italian club are desperate to sell to fund a move for Javier Pastore.
