Picture Text from David Gill's phone?: Fergie Has Got His Man
Manchester United have announced the signing of Inter Milan playmaker Wesley Sneijder for a British transfer record £42m. It ends the ongoing summer saga as many believed Inter would not sell. As reported by sources close to the club last night, Sneijder was seen boarding a plain from China ruling him out of this weekends super cup challenge. A deal had been brokered between the two clubs and Sneijder's agent had agreed terms on a 5 year deal believed to be worth around £220k per week.
A source close to the club confirmed that Sneijder was their number one target in replacing the void left by Paul Scholes. They also mentioned that they had looked at alternatives incase a deal couldn't be brokered including Arsenals contract rebel Sami Nasri and surprisingly Aston Villa's Emile Heskey.
Due to Paul Scholes Testimonial tonight, there has been no official statement or press conference but it is expected on Monday.
Stay tuned for confirmation.
