Manchester United are being forced to wait for Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder.
Quotidiano says United are ready to pay 40 million for the Dutchman, though it's likely he won't leave Inter before 6 August due to the Super Cup game with rivals AC Milan.
Inter are determined to kickoff the season with a psychological edge on the defending Serie A champs.
Sneijder remains a target for United, with Inter president Massimo Moratti refusing to rule out selling the midfielder only yesterday.
