Football: ‘United will be good for Sneijder’

LONDON: Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk believes Wesley Sneijder would “fit right in” at Manchester United. Despite Sir Alex Ferguson’s claims  that he has little interest in the Inter Milan playmaker, Sneijder continues to be linked with a move to Old Trafford, and Van Marwijk believes Sneijder can become an even greater player if he joins United.

“A transfer to United will do Wesley good,” Van Marwijk told the Sunday Mirror.

“With Real Madrid and Inter Milan he has already the biggest clubs in football on his CV. But United will be another big step up the international ladder. This is why it will be a new challenge to Wesley. It will inspire him and it will give him new energy.”
