Rumour: Manchester United to make player plus cash bid for Dutch international

David Moyes is willing to offer Antonio Valencia plus cash for Wesley Sneijder

Manchester United are rumoured to be pursuing Wesley Sneijder yet again, and reports say that Moyes is willing to offer Antonio Valencia as part a bid to land the Galatasaray star.

Over the summer, there were a number of rumours stating that United were interested in the Dutch international, but Galatasaray refused to let go of their player.

The 29 year old has proved a successful addition to the Istanbul side’s squad, helping Galatasaray to the Champions League quarter finals last term as well as a domestic title.

Antonio Valencia hasn’t had the most perfect of starts this season and while Roberto Mancini would hate to let go of Sneijder, the offer of Ecuadorian wide-man Valencia may tempt the Italian manager.

Sneijder moved to Galatasaray in January after a stuttering end to his Inter Milan career, which has started promisingly with a treble in his first term at the San Siro. The talented playmaker has scored nine goals in 29 appearances for the Turkish side.
