Manchester United boosted in Wesley Sneijder pursuit?

Manchester United are reportedly favourites to secure a deal for Galatasaray's Wesley Sneijder after Juventus pulled out of a move for the Dutch midfielder.

The Express claims that the 30-year-old playmaker, who joined the Turkish giants in January 2013, has become unsettled with life in Istanbul.

It was recently revealed that Sneijder was keen on a return to Serie A and Juve were thought to have agreed a fee with Galatasaray, but have now turned their attentions elsewhere.

United boss Louis van Gaal is looking to work with the midfielder again, having coached the player during his time as manager of the Netherlands.

However, any deal could cost the Red Devils as much as £16m.
