Premier League rivals Manchester United and Chelsea will battle it out for the signature of Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder, according to reports in Italian publication Sportmediaset. Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was pursuing Sneijder throughout the summer transfer window but nothing materialised.

Chelsea have reportedly made a deadline day busting £30 million bid for Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery.   After becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of movement from Tottenham over the protracted sale of Luka Modric, reports in the Sun suggest that Chelsea boss Andre Villas Boas has turned his attention towards the French International.
