United & Spurs on alert after Sneijder’s Inter Milan quit hint

SNEIJD REMARK ... Wes says he wants new club
WESLEY SNEIJDER last night opened the door for a cut-price £11million January move from Inter Milan to Manchester United or Tottenham.
The Inter superstar has been frozen out at the San Siro after refusing to accept a £1.6m-a-year pay cut.
He has run out of patience and demanded a move, putting pressure on the Italians to accept a low fee or pay his lucrative deal until 2015.
Sneijder, 28, said: “It’s clear it is the best for everyone concerned that in January I am transferred.”
Inter coach Andrea Stramaccioni has left Sneijder out of the team.
The Dutch playmaker has been United boss Alex Ferguson’s top choice to replace Paul Scholes in the past.
But Inter’s £40m valuation and his astronomical £10m-a-year wages proved a stumbling block 18 months ago.
This could be United’s big chance to capture one of the world’s great midfielders — but if they pass it up then Spurs will be waiting to pounce.
