Chelsea legend Gullit: Man Utd must buy Sneijder
Chelsea legend Ruud Gullit feels Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson needs to buy Wesley Sneijder from Inter Milan to rescue their season.
Gullit was unimpressed by United's display for their draw with Champions League opponents Benfica last week
"Benfica played well, daring and aggressive," said Gullit. "You see even Manchester United struggle and are very dependent on Wayne Rooney. They lack a creative midfielder like Sneijder and he's someone who can take them to another level.

We don't have the money.Surely everyone would have realized it.It took the glazers 2 years to let us spend 62.5% of the ronaldo money.They are just interested in sucking money out of the club and not doing anything in return.
man utd should go for a creative midfielder like sniejder, hansik or luka modric to fit well next season and should try to spend to enable them meet up the fans reguirement and sir. alex should make way for young coaches like pep Guardiola who i which will not extend contract with F.C.B sir. should not be playing lucky game to avoid the problem that fall liverpool not to be fall us . act now or never.
Ya but the fans must do a cotisation for utd as Glazers has no money
