Manchester United are a team that may still be favourites to win the Premier League this season, despite Chelsea appearing to mount a late surge towards the title out of nowhere, and they may still be in with a great chance of winning the Champions League (although one of Real Madrid and Barcelona will surely have a great deal to say about that), but the club themselves have done anything but look dominant this year.
Several late winning goals and lucky refereeing decisions have culminated to provide United with more than a few points in the league, and anyone who has listened to their games on pure digital radio or has watched the action on LCD TV will know that they have struggled to overcome the challenge posed by the weaker teams in the league. So, it would seem clear that there is a great deal of room for improvement as Sir Alex Ferguson looks ahead to the 2011/2012 season after the close of the current campaign.
With Ferguson likely to believe that one or two reinforcements to the squad are needed in order for the club to move onwards and upwards next season, it has come as something of a blow to the side that one high-profile target, Wesley Sneijder, has revealed he isn't interested in moving to England.
Sneijder insists he is happy playing at Inter Milan and isn't finding himself tempted by a move to the title-chasing Manchester outfit. With Sneijder winning the Champions League last season with Inter under the astute guidance of Jose Mourinho, you could understand if he had started to feel a little differently towards the Italian club following the manager's departure to Real Madrid.
However, his commitment is admirable and should be respected by the United manager, who surely has a longer transfer target list to work through than just the sole name.
