10 Players Who Rejected Man Utd

United were desperate to sign Inter Milan midfielder Sneijder over the summer of 2010, especially after his phenomenal performances at the World Cup (yep, the vuvuzela one) earned him a place in the team of the tournament.

Several approaches were made before the Dutchman ended up rejecting their advances to sign a new contract & remain at Inter under new manager Rafa Benitez instead. That went well!

Injuries hampered him from rediscovering the form that had won Inter the Champions League & taken the Netherlands to a World Cup final, and a few years later he was rotting on the bench after refusing to reduce his £4.8m-a-season wages, although he says it was his love of Italy that made him stay rather than the boatloads of cash. Of course.
