Devils lining up Belgian brothers

LONDON: Manchester United are looking at Belgian brothers Indy and Seppe Boonen.

Indy, 15, is a left-back who left Genk last year and has already had trials at United. He is training with United's youth sides at the moment while his younger brother 13-year-old Seppe is a promising goalkeeper.

They are hoping to sign a professional contract with United when they turn 16. United have held off competition from neighbours Manchester City to sign Portuguese winger Venancio da Silva Monteiro.

The 15-year-old left Benfica in April to train with United in the hope of winning a deal but his performances had attracted interest from City who were also keen to sign him. Meanwhile, Louis van Gaal’s side has been put on alert after learning of Wesley Sneijder’s desire to leave Galatasaray.

It is understood Turkish club will demand in the region of £9million (RM49 million) for the Hollland international.

And his advisers have begun the process of trying to identify a buyer for the former Inter Milan star.

United and Southampton — who both have Dutch managers are among the sides to have been contacted about the possibility of taking Sneijder next month. Daily Mail
