Wesley Sneijder

Marwijk has faith the midfielder would fit in well at United

Dutch national manager Bert Van Marwijk believes Wesley Sneijder would benefit from a move to the Premier League champions.

The Sunday Mirror reports:

“Bert van Marwijk, the Holland coach, has stepped into the £40million transfer wrangle to tell the Dutch midfielder he can ­become an even greater player at Manchester United – even if it means taking a pay cut!
Van Marwijk said: “A transfer to United will do Wesley a lot of good. He will benefit as a player from playing for them.

“With Real Madrid and Inter Milan he has already the biggest club names in football on his cv. But Manchester United will be another big step up the ­international ladder for him.

“Manchester United have a unique playing style and they perform ­consistently at the ­highest level.

“Their methods in training, and the way people work at this club with players, are superb.

“This is why it will be a new challenge to Wesley. It will inspire him and it will give him new ­energy.”

The Dutch boss, who guided his team to the World Cup final last year, also claims that the deal will benefit the Holland team.

He explained: “The United style is much more similar to the Dutch style than Inter’s way of playing.

“When Wesley plays for ­Holland we make sure he gets the ball as soon as possible to his feet. Much quicker than Inter try that.

“It means he can have a goal ­attempt much quicker or can give a decisive pass.

“In Italy he plays in a more ­sitting role, and he is facing six defenders all the time.

“The control we let him take in attack with the Dutch team, I can also see with United.

“I think he would really fit into the midfield perfectly at Old ­Trafford.”

 

Whether Sneijder will end up at the Theatre of Dreams is still open to -much- debate, but despite some fans expressing misgivings about whether he’s really needed, the Dutch coach certainly believes he’s a good fit.

    Please, enough of the Sneijder headlines. If we get him great, if we don’t then fuck it. We seem
    to be (me included) obsessed with stories from
    his Father, brother, auntie, car cleaner, agents’ 3rd cousin and his pet donkey’s groomer. The purchases haven’t stopped yet so lets be grateful
    we didn’t hear the dreaded “thats if for this transfer window” quote from the boss yet. Thats all that matters as surely we can trust him at this stage. Al
