Manchester United are back atop the Barclay's Premier League table and with it comes rumour of another top transfer.
Mirror Football claims reports indicate the much talked about transfer of Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder to Manchester United are back on for the January transfer window.
The 27-year-old Dutch superstar was heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford throughout the summer as the possible replacement to Paul Scholes, but the deal broke down because of his wages.
If Sir Alex Ferguson is truly interested anything is possible. The United boss has already said, however, that he would not be buying players during the January window.
The Mirror Football report quotes the legendary coach as saying:
It is not easy to get players in January. I am not quite sure if you went for a player if he could play in the Europa League. There is criteria there in the sense of playing in the Champions League and whether they could play in the Europa League. There are a lot of issues there but there is nothing in my mind at the moment.
But with Sneijder those issues would be worth working out.
United has done a number of different things with their midfield so far this year. We've seen youngster Tom Cleverley play great when healthy, but he hasn't been on the pitch in some time.
Anderson also went down with injury and because United has so much attacking talent up top, Fergie even experimented with Wayne Rooney in the midfield.
Crazily enough, it can work. With Chicharito, Danny Welbeck, Dimitar Berbatov (for now) and even Michael Owen, they can spare the talismanic forward.
Rivals Manchester City are a heck of club though, and could still pull off something of their own for the second half. The two clubs are tied atop the table with 45 points.
Adding Sneijder, one of the world's best, for a title run would certainly give the defending champions an edge going into the second half of the campaign.
