Reds launch £25m Sneijder raid to replace Scholes
Sir Alex Ferguson will try to exploit growing turmoil at Inter Milan by making a concerted attempt to sign Wesley Sneijder at the end of the season. Though a huge admirer of Tottenham’s Luka Modric, the Manchester United manager has set his sights on Sneijder as his principal summer target and is prepared to meet a £25million asking price to prise him away from the San Siro. Recruiting a midfielder with drive and energy is Ferguson’s priority, and the feedback on Sneijder’s likely availability has encouraged the Old Trafford boss to seek clearance to proceed with a bid. Sportsmail understands an offer will be lodged with Inter, and their president Massimo Moratti is willing to sanction the Holland World Cup midfielder’s departure, despite him signing a long-term deal this season. Sneijder, 26, accepted improved terms until 2015 but has since seen Inter unravel under coach Leonardo, with the one-time Brazil midfielder coming under heavy fire for his tactical approach to their Champions League tie against Schalke and Serie A clash against city rivals AC Milan. Sneijder, who spent two seasons at Real Madrid before joining Inter in summer 2009, is ready for a fresh start and evidently relishes the challenge of replacing Paul Scholes as United’s new midfield general.

The Mail also claims United are monitoring Porto centre-back Rolando and striker Hulk with the Portugese champions apparently ready to cash in on their main assets to ease financial worries.
Meanwhile, The Sun say Sir Alex hopes to have Darren Fletcher, who has been out since early March with a virus, back by the end of the month. The paper also ask three former players - Ian Wright, Lou Macari and Clive Walker - to give their verdict on the Premier League title run-in with the trio all backing the Reds to land the Championship crown.

Fletcher close to comeback

Sir Alex Ferguson is on the verge of welcoming back one of his "big game" players as he prepares to face an Everton side missing key men of their own.
Midfield powerhouse Darren Fletcher has missed the recent action due to a virus but he could return in 10 days' time as a gripping season enters its final, crucial phase.
"Darren Fletcher's back training now. He's had a good week. He may be available in 10 days' time," said Sir Alex.
"He'll be a very, very important player to come back. Darren's excelled in big games and important games over the years because he's got the knowledge and the discipline to carry out whatever job you want him to do. That's the value he brings to the team. When he does come back, he'll go straight into the team."
Although this weekend's clash will come too soon for Fletcher, Sir Alex will be able to recall Rafael if required following the right-back's return to fitness. The manager's only injury concern is Dimitar Berbatov's slight groin strain. "We'll see what he's like today in view of tomorrow," said the boss in reference to the Bulgarian striker.
Meanwhile Everton will arrive at Old Trafford on a good run of form, despite being without some stellar names.

United v Everton


Form guide
United have failed to score in consecutive matches for the first time since 1 March 2009 following Tuesday's stalemate at Newcastle and an FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City at Wembley. Home form has underpinned the Reds' trophy hunt this season though and Sir Alex Ferguson's side will be hopeful of extending a 28-match unbeaten run against a club that hasn't won at Old Trafford since the very first Premier League season, 1992/93. However, the current Everton crew come into this fixture bang in form, earning 17 points from a possible 21.
Ins and outs
Sir Alex Ferguson has no fresh injury concerns and Dimitar Berbatov could return after missing the trip to St James' Park. Everton are still without instrumental midfield trio Tim Cahill (ankle), Mikel Arteta (hamstring) and Marouane Fellaini (ankle). Ex-Reds striker Louis Saha (ankle) and Jose Baxter (hamstring) are also unavailable.
Last meeting
Having overthrown a one-goal deficit to lead 3-1, United were cruising to a comfortable three points at Goodison Park. In injury time, however, the game was completely transformed. First Tim Cahill rose to head home before Mikel Arteta smashed in an equaliser two minutes later to hand the home side a 3-3 draw and a share of the spoils.
Top man
When the PFA team of the year was announced last weekend eyebrows were raised at the omission of Toffees full-back Leighton Baines, who has excelled for Everton this term. Since signing from Wigan in 2005, the England international has flourished under the tutorage of David Moyes and is reportedly attracting interest from German giants Bayern Munich.

Any sub-plots?
Phil Neville always receives a warm reception from the Old Trafford faithful whenever the Toffees are in town – and this Saturday will be no exception. Gary's younger brother, a veteran of 386 United appearances, has given great service to Everton since joining them from the Reds in 2005 and is the current club captain.
Did you know?
Everton hold the record for the most seasons in the English top flight - 108 consecutive campaigns. United have the fifth-highest total with 85 years.
Rivals watch
Chelsea entertain West Ham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, Arsenal travel to Bolton on Easter Sunday and Manchester City visit Blackburn on Bank Holiday Monday.

Hii habari ya Sneijder kama ni kweli itakuwa jambo zuri sana maana hii kitu ni engine nzuri sana, ila tukimkosa Sneijder Modric au Schweisteiger watafaa sana.

Haya haya wanazi wenzangu...mm nshafika Stretford End OT...siwaoni wadau...

Everton to win 2-1 and lift the chances for Arsenal and Chelsea to win the EPL because Man U will have to play both of these potential tittle contenders and I don't see them getting a point from them.

Hawa Everton mbona wanabana namna hiyo

Watabana na kuachia...@Belo
