Dundee United could have a Sneijder brother in their ranks
ByIan Roache
Dundee United are understood to be about to take Rodney Sneijder younger brother of Dutch legend Wesley on trial.
The 24-year-old former Ajax midfielder is believed to be set to play against AZ Alkmaar tonight, then former club Utrecht on Thursday, as the Tangerines continue their tour of the Netherlands.
If he impresses then there is every likelihood that United will give him a deal.
Sneijder was once reportedly stopped by his older brother from signing for Real Madrid, with Wesley quoted back in 2008 as saying: “Real Madrid wanted him and Rodney was very happy about that. But when I heard, I stopped the discussions.
“I am not in favour of juniors increasingly going to top clubs. I’ve told him that he should make the breakthrough at Ajax first.”
