The Sun reports that the 27-year-old is now prepared to slash his previous demand for £200,000-a-week by £60,000-a-week.
Inter Milan had agreed to sell Sneijder to United for £35million last month, but United failed to agree on a contract with the midfielder.
Sneijder was confident he would get the £200,000-a-week that he demanded, but he is now getting desperate to secure a move to Old Trafford.
