Wesley Sneijder has revealed that he rejected the chance to join Manchester United in the summer because he wanted to play Champions League football.
The Galatasaray midfielder was part of Louis van Gaal's Dutch World Cup squad and says he is one of the best managers in the world.
But the 30-year-old - who has longed been linked with a move to Old Trafford - insists he is happy in Turkey.
He said: 'Louis (Van Gaal) is one of the most intelligent men in football - and I knew of Manchester United's interest in the summer.
'It was flattering - but I am very happy in Turkey - and it is very hard to leave Champions League football.'
