Man Utd boss Ferguson now ready to turn to Sneijder - or Nasri, Modric

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson's spending won't end with Ashley Young and Phil Jones this summer.

The Daily Star says if Fergie gets his wish, Wesley Sneijder will be joining them next term.

The Inter Milan star would be the icing on a very expensive cake for Fergie should he manage to lure him to Old Trafford.

At 27, Holland World Cup star Sneijder is the finished article and one of the best in his position in the world - the closest Fergie will find in terms of replacing Paul Scholes.

Sneijder would cost United another £30m, taking the club's spending over the £70m mark.

Alternative targets include Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric and Arsnel's Samir Nasri, who also wouldn't come cheap, but one of these three will be at Old Trafford come the start of the season.
