Galatasaray midfielder Wesley Sneijder has ruled out a potential move to Manchester United by revealing that he is happy in Turkey and doesn’t intend to move to the Premier League.
The Red Devils have wanted the Dutch midfielder for some time now, but have failed in their pursuit for him time and time again, with this attempt looking like another failure for David Moyes and the United officials.
Moyes is desperate to land a top-class midfielder for his new side in January, but speaking after securing last-16 status for his side, Sneijder played down any reports linking him with Old Trafford.
He told NOS: “I know just as much as you. I don’t even read the newspapers, but I’ve heard about the reports. At the moment it isn’t an issue, but every time the transfer window is open, I get linked with all kind of clubs.
“Sometimes it’s frustrating, because I have to clarify it with the fans. Here in Turkey, the supporters are very emotional. They have a lot of passion and I don’t want to explain things that I don’t know about.
“Again, I know just as much as you do. I feel very good at Gala, and I’m glad we’re through in the Champions League. You’ll never know, but at this point I’m happy here.”
