Wesley is perfect for Manchester United, says Tottenham star Van der Vaart

Rafael van der Vaart insists Manchester United target Wesley Sneijder will have no problem adapting to the Premier League.

Sneijder has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for most of the summer and the Holland midfielder admitted Inter Milan would be prepared to sell him for the right price.

That figure is expected to be around £35million and Tottenham star Van der Vaart is convinced his international colleague and former Ajax team-mate is worth every penny.

When asked if he will be playing against Sneijder this season, he joked: 'I hope not because Manchester United are going to be stronger. But he's a great player and he fits in well at Manchester United.'

Big hit: Van der Vaart had a fine first season in England with Tottenham

Van der Vaart, who joined Spurs from Real Madrid last summer, added: 'Of course he would like to play in England, it's the biggest league in the world.

'He is a good friend of mine and we have contact almost every day. He knows what to expect in the Premier League.'

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has spent over £50m on Phil Jones, Ashley Young and David De Gea and looks set to complete his summer recruitment drive by signing midfielder Sneijder before the window closes at the end of the month.
