Jose Mourinho has had a whole list of players mostly from the English Premier League that he wanted to join him at Real Madrid. The list included players like Steven Gerrard from Liverpool, Frank Lampard from Chelsea, Ashley Cole from Chelsea and of course
Wayne Rooney from Manchester United, but he immediately backed out from the last bid as Mourinho hopes to manage the English club one day and did not want to ruin his chances of doing that, also worth mentioning that he might have respect for Sir Alex.
In the end Mourinho had worked out a remedy and he managed a brilliant one when he declared that he had filled in place of both a striker and midfielder by hiring the German prodigy Mesut Ozil. Ozil has continued to impress on lookers with his performance
which has risen exponentially since FIFA World Cup 2010.
With all this going on there is a 3rd 26-year-old player that has long desired to play for the Red Devils and the feeling is mutual with Fergie on the other end admiring and praising the Dutchman, Wesley Sneijder.
Sneijder was transferred cheaply from Real Madrid to the Italian giants, Inter Milan back when Mourinho was in charge. Sneijder produced astonishing results for the Nerazzurri and just in his first season for the club he helped them with the Champions League
title.
At the World Cup in South Africa, though Netherlands constant stream of troubles and the string of worries continued they performed brilliantly and that took them to the final even though they flunked there when they came face to face with Spain. Nonetheless
Sneijder again had an important role to play in the tournament hence value of the player grew even more.
After World Cup a little bird reported that there was growing interest in signing the former Ajax player, Sneijder. This deal could certainly seal Manchester United’s fate of having a good midfielder to run around in the centre of the field. As matter of
fact pundits and experts have regarded this to be a better deal than signing Kaka and one of the reasons is the age and form the player would have to gain.
Now that Rooney has created an environment in which Manchester United’s repute is at stake for not hiring top notch in footballers, Fergie, who is considered to be among men with biggest ego on field will be looking to sign a high quality player in not just
to increase the talent in team but to prove a point by making a drastic impact.
Half the pundits have suggested that if a world class player does name Old Trafford as his new name then it would be either Sneijder, who has mentioned before that he would like to play for Manchester United or Kaka who has been out of favour by Mourinho
even though the Brazilian legend has stated that he wants to make his impact in football.
