League champions increased their efforts to close the 27-year playmaker to the Netherlands as the Serie A club intends to use the money to rebuild their aging squad.
Italian apparel Premier League champions said that they are 27 years for the country playmaker £ 35m, while Sneijder is "interested" for a possible move to England.
While the Red Devils have yet to formally submit a bid, Inter have accepted that the diminutive Dutchman is on his way out of San Siro and could be willing to let him go for as low as £30m, Goal.com understands.
"United have increased their interest over the past 48 hours. The clubs are now in talks, but they will have to agree a fee," a source close to discussions told Goal.com.
"Inter know his value, so they are aiming for £35m, £30m at a push. They are ready to sell him, but only under their economic conditions. He is not a player they consider unsellable.
"The next move is down to United. If they satisfy Inter's requests, then Sneijder will be playing for United next season."
Sneijder believes a move to Old Trafford could offer him the chance to add to an already impressive medal haul which includes domestic titles in Italy, Spain and the Netherlands, in addition to the Champions League in 2010.
"He knows he would have better chances of winning things at Manchester United compared to Inter, especially on the international front," the source added.
"Sneijder is intrigued by the Premier League and he wants to try a new experience there. He can speak fluent English and so he would have no problems settling down."
The former Real Madrid schemer has indicated that he wants a move to Sir Alex's Ferguson's side, but has not publicly spoken of his desire to leave in order to avoid angering Inter fans. He has a contract at San Siro which expires in 2015 and would be content to see it out if a transfer fails to materialise this summer, hence his reluctance to agitate in public for a move.
"Wesley is trying to make it seem that it was Inter who wanted to sell him, rather than have people thinking he was the one who wanted to leave," the source continued.
"At the moment he does not want to say much as he doesn't want to upset the Inter fans. But if Inter and United reach an agreement, then he would be delighted to join them.
"He said he would be sorry to leave Inter, but in reality he would not be sorry. Sneijder is not pushing to leave, but neither is he against an exit."
New Inter head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has yet to stamp his mark on his squad and would have any proceeds from a possible Sneijder sale at his disposal for new arrivals, chief among them a new left-sided defender.
"Thirty-five million is enough to convince [Inter president Massimo] Moratti to sell Sneijder, and he will then spend part of the money for a top left-back, as Gasperini wants a player for this position," the source added.
Nonetheless, Inter director Marco Branca maintains that no deal for Sneijder to leave is in place and he told assembled reporters at the unveiling of new signings Luc Castaignos and Ricky Alvarez that the Dutchman would not be sold.
Champions League finalists United are embarking on a significant summer rebuilding campaign of their own. Sir Alex has already signed David de Gea, Phil Jones and Ashley Young, but is still seeking replacements for outgoing central midfielders Owen Hargreaves and Paul Scholes.
The Manchester United manager confirmed on Tuesday that he was no longer in the market for Arsenal's Samir Nasri but was hoping to bring in a creative midfielder.
Sir Alex said: "If we can get a player along similar lines [to Scholes] in terms of the quality of his passing and vision, then yes we'd have to do something."
