Wesley Sneijder has told Manchester United: I am staying at Inter Milan. The Holland international has been linked with a move away from the San Siro and is a £35million target of United boss Alex
Ferguson.Spanish side Malaga have also expressed an interest in the Dutchman — whose contract expires in 2015 — but he has cooled talk of a move. Sneijder, 27, said: "I would like to remain. I have marvellous team-mates.
"My wife Yolanthe and I love Inter, the Italian fans and Italy.
"Of course, if the club decided to sell me, I will go wherever they tell me to go. But I would be disappointed.
"We have felt so good here that I would miss the city of Milan and Inter.
"But football is like that. When I was sold from Real Madrid to Inter, I would have preferred to have remained in Spain.
"Whatever will be, will be."
Sneijder joined Inter from Real Madrid in 2009 and helped them win the Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia in his first season in Milan.
But injuries restricted him to just 25 appearances last term as Inter finished runners up to neighbours AC in the race for the scudetto.
However, new boss Gian Piero Gasperini is hoping Sneijder can rediscover the form that made him a candidate for the World Player of the Year accolade 12 months ago.
Gasperini said: "Sneijder is a great player, a top player.
"His approach has been more than positive. He wants to remain with us."
