Man Utd have alternatives lined up if Sneijder deal cannot be closed

Inter Milan ace Wesley Sneijder remains Manchester United's top midfield target for the summer market.

The Mirror says United boss Alex Ferguson is set to launch a spectacular summer transfer splash that could exceed £60million.

Sneijder is the midfield player he covets the most, and United will not be put off by a possible £30million price tag - though they have other alternatives if his club, Inter Milan, refuse to do business.

The Old Trafford club have watched Napoli's highly-rated Marek Hamsik, and also kept tabs on Everton's England Under-21 star Jack Rodwell, as they look to strengthen an area that has been a concern, given the now strong possibility that Paul Scholes will announce his retirement after the Champions League final next weekend.
