By Mark Ogden, in Seattle[LNB]6:35AM BST 15 Jul 2011[LNB]Comments[LNB] 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. [LNB]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." [LNB]Pointedly, however, Ferguson did not say that the deal might not eventually happen.[LNB]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.[LNB]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.[LNB]Related Articles
