Unbelievable - Sneijder rumours abound!

Just one day after we wrote that Wesley Sneijder must come to Manchester United, the Interwebs were ablaze with the rumours that the Dutchman was coming to Manchester -- but the wrong side of town!

The CounterAttack refuses to believe that Sneijder would sign for City. Let's call it a hunch, as United have a long and successful link with Dutch players. This goes as far back as Arnie Muhren and includes Jaap Stam, Van Nistelrooij, and of course Edwin Van der Sar - silverware winners all, while City...don't. Still, it could happen.

We simply can't believe that despite all his protestations that Sir Alex Ferguson would allow a key rival to snatch such a needed player away from him. So until we see Sneijder in blue, we won't believe it.

We also press our plea to Ferguson to get this deal done! As much as signing Cantona and Keano were testaments on which Ferguson built his empire, not signing Sneijder will help some other club do the same. Let's not let that happen.
