Manchester United will step up their attempts to sign Inter Milan midfield player Wesley Sneijder in the summer, reports the Daily Mirror.
Despite the fact that the highly rated Netherlands international only recently signed an extension to his current contract with the Serie A champions that will keep him at San Siro until June 2015, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is still keen on trying to lure the playmaker to the Premier League at the end of this season - with a £30m price tag now mooted to be on his head.
The Scot sees the 26 year old as being the ideal long-term replacement for veteran former England international Paul Scholes at the heart of the Red Devils’ midfield, with Scholes not expected to play on beyond the end of this campaign.
However, one potential barrier to Sneijder’s transfer could be the tough stance taken by Internazionale president Massimo Moratti, who said recently of United’s reported interest in his star player:
"The interest from Manchester United in Sneijder is real, but I didn’t look into it. My only interest is seeing Sneijder play here for many more years to come."
