ABOVE: Wesley Sneijder is still on Alex Fergusons wish-list
SIR ALEX Ferguson will break the bank to land Wesley Sneijder in a £40m deal that he hopes will see Manchester United remain champions.
Fergie was left stunned by United’s capitulation to bitter rivals Manchester City in Sunday’s 6-1 derby defeat at Old Trafford.
The United boss looked on helplessly as the Blues ran his side ragged as he slumped to the worst-ever defeat of his career.
The humiliation highlighted United’s lack of firepower in central midfield as Anderson and Darren Fletcher had no answer to the class of Roberto Mancini’s men.
The Blues have opened up a five-point lead at the top of the table and show no signs of slowing down. Fergie knows the Blues are hell-bent on becoming the dominant force in English football and have the spending power to achieve their goals.
Now he is set to act by telling United’s owners the Glazers to spend whatever it takes to land Sneijder in the January transfer window.
The Holland and Inter Milan ace has been a long-term target of Fergie’s. He spent the whole of last summer trying to sign him but failed to thrash out a deal with the Italian giants.
The Scot was left frustrated as United refused to meet Inter’s asking price while Sneijder was demanding in excess of
£200,000 a week.
But Fergiemains a big fan of the midfield schemer and knows he would be the ideal replacement for Paul Scholes, who retired in the summer.
