Wesley Sneijder confirms 'unofficial' Manchester United talks

Wesley Sneijder has said there have been 'unofficial' talks over a transfer from Inter Milan to Manchester United.

The 27-year-old has been linked with a move to Old Trafford throughout the summer, with rivals Manchester City also rumoured to be on the hunt for his signature.

"There have been unofficial talks, there have been contacts, but then there are always contacts. I have contacts with everybody," he told www.nos.nl.

"The situation is that I am now an Inter player, and chances are that I will still be that come August 31. There is also a chance I could leave.

"That isn't really down to me but the club. I think Inter have been very clear: if a good offer comes in, they have to let me go," he added.

Sneijder was speaking in London after Holland's friendly with England was cancelled due to riots in the capital.
