  PAUL ORDER ... Fergie wants Sneijder for Scholes role in midfield

  
  

   

  ALEX FERGUSON wants Holland's World Cup hero Wesley Sneijder to spearhead next season's bid for glory.

  But it could cost Manchester United £35million to prise the Dutchman away from Inter Milan.

  Fergie is desperate to find an attacking midfielder in the Paul Scholes mould.

  And although the United boss does not have a huge transfer kitty he sees Sneijder as the ideal player to sit in the 'hole' behind striker Wayne Rooney.

  Sneijder, 26, only moved to the San Siro from Real Madrid in a £13m switch a year ago.

  The 5ft 7in star helped win Serie A, the Italian Cup and the Champions League under Jose Mourinho - and has now scored four goals to lead Holland's march to the World Cup semi-finals.

  New Inter boss Rafa Benitez had a fierce rivalry with Fergie during his six years in charge at Liverpool.

  But the Spaniard is determined to build his own side at Inter.

  He knows unless he brings in his own men, any success will lead to cynics claiming it is still Mourinho's team.

  Off-loading Sneijder would also put Benitez in pole position to raid Anfield to sign Javier Mascherano.

  i say.If thats really true..then its too late and fergie's too short sighted.He was readily available when madrid went thru their 2nd transfers revolution (Kaka,ronaldo,benzema era)...He could have moved on a cheap price back then..Was really hoping united would snap up him on the cheap..but fergie did not.Continue relying on oldie's,failed to look for a successor and new playmaker for the team.

  Now on the back of a successful championsleague and WC campaign,..i wonder how his price has sky rocketed man!...

  i agree, his price tag wont be cheap after such a world cup performance. i think will shoot at least up to 22-25m in the current market rate.
