Galatasaray's sporting director Bülent Tulun revealed that Manchester United attempted to sign Wesley Sneijder last summer.
Sneijder has been linked to United since leading Inter Milan to a treble back in 2010.
"Sneijder received an indirect offer from Manchester United last summer but it was not accepted," Tulun revealed.
"There were clubs who wanted to sign me like Manchester United, but I have no intention of leaving and my club have no intention of letting me go," said Sneijder.
"Leaving in January didn't even cross my mind and the club have never told me to leave. I feel at home here, and that's not something you feel everywhere you go."
