Beckham: 'Manchester United should buy Sneijder'

David Beckham believes that Wesley Sneijder should replace Paul Scholes at Manchester United.

The LA Galaxy midfielder said that his former club would do well to make a move for the 27-year-old, who has impressed with his performances for Inter Milan.

"Sneijder is such a talented player,” he said. "He's a great guy and I'm sure he'd fit right into a Manchester United team. He could do a job there, without a doubt."

"Scholesy is such a great talent and he will be missed. They're going to have to get someone special."

Sneijder has won the Champions League during his time with Inter and last October signed a five-year contract with the club.

The former Real Madrid midfielder has 78 caps for Holland has scored 21 goals.
