WESLEY SNEIJDER has slammed the door shut on a last-minute switch to Manchester United.
Sir Alex Ferguson has spent the summer chasing the Inter Milan star in the hope of luring him toManchester United.
United officials held talks withWesley Sneijder’s representatives and were confident of landing the midfield ace in a £36m deal.
The move stalled when Inter dug their heels in and Holland international Sneijder struggled to agree personal terms.
United’s hopes were revived when Ferge’s right hand man Rene Meulensteen suggested earlier this week a deal could still be thrashed out before tonight’s transfer deadline.
But Sneijder said: “I’m staying at Inter. I don’t think I’ll leave at this moment of the market.
“It was either me or Eto’o to leave Inter and since he has now gone, there is no need for Inter to sell me.
“Manchester United? Anything is possible in football, but I don’t think this time something will happen.
“I know that if I were to leave it would have to be for the right price, Inter was clear about that. But I have not spoken formally with the two Manchester clubs.”
