Milan: Inter president Massimo Moratti has revealed that Manchester United are interested in taking Netherlands World Cup star Wesley Sneijder to Old Trafford.
A report from Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf had claimed that the Serie A outfit were ready to offer the midfielder a new contract, extending his current deal, which runs until 2013, by two years.
However, it would seem that United may have other plans for the playmaker, although Moratti insisted that he had not been 'tempted' by the English club's offer just yet.
"The interest from Manchester United in Sneijder is real, but I didn't look into it in an attempt not to fall into temptation," Moratti told Sky Sport Italia, adding: "Offers for [Mario] Balotelli and Maicon have been too low."
On the question of Balotelli, Moratti also confirmed that the player had not requested to leave the club, despite the rumours claiming that both United and neighbours Manchester City were prepared to tussle for the controversial forward.
"It seems like an advertising campaign to me. In any case Balotelli has not come to me to ask to be sold," he added.
"I don't understand why a problem has to be created."
