Reports have claimed that the Dutch midfielder could be used
as bait in Real's bid to secure the signing of United winger
Cristiano Ronaldo.
Sneijder enjoyed an impressive first season at Real after
arriving from Ajax and has no plans to leave the Spanish
champions.
"I'd like to comment briefly on the reports and rumours
that I might be going to Manchester United as part of some kind of
exchange deal," the 24 year old told his personal
website.
"As I've said already, when I left Ajax, all I wanted was
to go to Real Madrid. They are the best club in the
world.
"And now that I'm here, all I want is to win as many
trophies as I can with them and wear the white shirt for as long as
possible.
"The same rumours have been doing the rounds about
Robinho. Well, I hope he stays too, and I hope that Cristiano
Ronaldo joins us at the Bernabeu.
"In short, I'm flattered to be linked to Manchester
United... but it's not happening. End of story."
