Inter president Massimo Moratti has denied midfielder Wesley Sneijder will leave the San Siro and join Manchester United.

Sneijder will end his contract with Inter in 2015, and Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has seen him as a replacement for Paul Scholes.

Manchester United, however, may be dissuaded from making a bid following the 26-year-old's valuation of 40 million pounds along with a wage of 140,000 per week, according to some reports.

"The interest from Manchester United in Sneijder is real," Moratti was quoted as saying. "But I didn't look into it. My only interest is seeing Sneijder play here for many more years to come."
