as Wes told us he told Daily Mirror

Wesley Sneijder will be cheered up by a new poll – after expressing disappointment that his move to Manchester United had fallen through this week.

The Inter Milan star has admitted that he was ­flattered by United’s ­interest and unhappy that the move never materialised.

“Manchester are one of the biggest clubs in the world, so of course I was open to a move,” he said. “I don’t really know why they eventually stopped their ­attempts to sign me.”

But the Dutch star will at least be pleased to know that he created a huge amount of interest during the transfer window – ­according to a poll ­published last night.



The Yahoo! search trend data revealed he was the most searched-for player throughout the transfer window. Runner-up was Robbie Keane, whose transfer from Tottenham to LA Galaxy two weeks ago caused such a stir.

Arsene Wenger might be thinking that bringing in almost a whole new team of players will have ­diverted attention away from Arsenal’s shock 8-2 loss at United.

But the purchase of Mikel Arteta and Yossi Benayoun at the 11th hour failed to capture the ­imagination of fans.

These transfers brought the club’s total to nine signings, making them one of the most ­active clubs in the ­market, but none of the deals ­featured in the top 20.

On the other hand, Cesc Fabregas’s departure to Barcelona was noted, with the Spanish midfielder coming third in the most-searched list.
