Manchester United are being tipped to make a concrete offer for Wesley Sneijder at some point this week and the player has conceded he may be forced to leave Inter Milan.

Sneijder has all the attributes to fill the void left by Paul Scholes' retirement at United. Arsenal star Samir Nasri was another player in the frame, but Sir Alex Ferguson effectively abandoned his pursuit of the Frenchman on Monday.

Ferguson's comments on Nasri heightened the prospect of a bid being tabled for Sneijder and although the Dutchman is content in Italy, he is not ruling out a transfer.

"If the club decide to sell me, I'll go where they tell me to go," Sneijder told Vanity Fair. "If that happens I would feel very sorry. My wife and I are happy in Milan and I would miss the city and Inter. But anything can happen in football.

"Before I was sold from Real Madrid to Inter, I'd hoped to stay in Spain. In a few minutes our life changed completely."
