Roberto Mancini is set to go head-to-head with bitter rival Sir Alex Ferguson in a £30m battle to land Inter Milan star Wesley Sneijder. Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has madeWesley Sneijder his top prioroty after loosing the battle to land Alexis Sanchez from Udinese. It is understood Mancini’s growing frustration has made him turn his attentions to Sneijder, 27. The news will be a big blow to United boss Fergie, who has been tracking Sneijder for six months, having earmarked the Holland midfielder as the perfect replacement for Paul Scholes.
With City also offering Champions League football next season, Mancini hopes Sneijder’s experience and talent will help his side to become a major European powerhouse. This is not the first time this window United and City have clashed in wanting the same player. Sanchez has held talks with both Manchester clubs while Tottenham’s Luka Modric is also a target but Chelsea remain favourites to land the Croatian star.
