Sneijder to stay at Inter Milan

Sneijder’s performances for Holland during this summer's World Cup finals have proved pivotal to the team's success at the tournament, with the 26 year-old scoring five times to lead Bert van Marwijk's side to Sunday's final against Spain.

And as a result, the former Real Madrid man's displays have reportedly attracted the interest of Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, who is believed to see Sneijder as the ideal replacement for Paul Scholes - expected to leave the Red Devils next summer.

"The interest from Manchester United in Sneijder is real, but I didn't look into it in an attempt not to fall into temptation."

Speaking to NOS, Sneijder said: “It is correct that Manchester United have approached Inter about my availability, but I don't have the intention to leave Inter any time soon.

"My heart is with Inter. I've won almost everything with Inter that we could win last year and I'm looking forward to winning even more titles here. I have set my sights on the Italian Super Cup, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup.

"There are so many more titles to be won with my current club. Therefore, I will stay at Inter."
