Former Premier League defender Arjan de Zeeuw believes that Holland star Wesley Sneijder would take England by storm should he move to Manchester United.
Sneijder has been identified as Sir Alex Ferguson’s top target as the United boss believes that he could be the new Paul Scholes.
The 25-year-old Inter Milan midfielder, whose five goals tie him for the tournament lead with Spain striker David Villa, would cost about £35 million in the transfer market.
De Zeeuw, who played in the Premier League for 13 years, believes that Sneijder, who scored in Holland’s 3-2 semi-final victory over Uruguay, would fit in well in England.
"If United sign him he'd be a fantastic asset. The thought of him playing just behind Wayne Rooney is great, De Zeeuw told The Sun.
"I can see why people compare him to Scholes in his younger days but Wes can strike a ball equally well with either foot.
"I remember playing against Scholesy and if he was on the edge of the box you'd at least try and get him on his left, which wasn't quite as strong.
"But Sneijder can hit it just as well with both."
