Wesley Sneijder has been linked with a move to Manchester United for what now seems an eternity.
The Aksam newspaper went ahead with this summers edition not only linking Sneijder with a move to United but claiming that Galatasaray have offered a part-exchange deal.
Mourinho and Sneijder are of course no strangers having enjoyed a successful spell together at Inter Milan winning the treble – Serie A, Champions League and Italian Cup.
We took a look at how United fans reacted to the news on social media.
As expected nobody was all that surprised.
We are linked to him every season… https://t.co/Sd7fxhjpdW

It simply would not be transfer season without Sneijder being linked with United.
If there isn't a rumour about Sneijder to United during a transfer window, did the transfer window really happen? #AnnualNews

Well to be honest Sneijder is not all that bad and he has a great relationship with Mourinho. It is not like he is a bad player and not like he has not won it all with Mourinho in the past.
@Turkish_Futbol @The_MUFC_Agent @BusbyMUFC @TotallyMUFC he's well past his sell date! We don't need him We can do much better

Three years in the Super Lig winning two league titles, three Turkish Cups and a Champions League quarter-final finish. Think most United fans would be happy for winning the league and a decent European run these days.
