Wesley Sneijder tells Man Utd: I’ll take pay cut

WESLEY SNEIJDER has slashed his pay demand to make sure the Manchester United deal goes through.

The worried Dutch star, 27, looked to have blown his chance of leaving Inter Milan by asking for £200,000 a week. Sneijder is now prepared to slash that demand by £60,000 a week.

It would still making him the second highest paid star at United - behind Wayne Rooney on £250,000 a week. United offered Sneijder a contract last month and Inter were happy to sell at £35million.

But the Premier League champs could not agree on Sneijder's pay. The attacking midfielder was sure they would come back with a new offer but that has not happened.
