The Dutch star, 27, looked to have blown his chance of leaving Inter Milan by asking for £200,000 a week.
| Sneijder wants to go to United |
Sneijder is now prepared to slash that demand by £60,000 a week.
It would still making him the second highest paid star at United - behind Wayne Rooney on £250,000 a week.
United offered Sneijder a contract last month and Inter were happy to sell at £35million.
But the Premier League champs could not agree on Sneijder's pay.
The attacking midfielder was sure they would come back with a new offer but that has not happened.
Manchester United have said they do not expect Wesley Sneijder to join the club from Internazionale before the end of the transfer window.
Although the Premier League champions did not want to go on the record, the official stance from Old Trafford is that the deal is not going to happen.
The information comes from boardroom level, with the chief executive, David Gill, giving his approval for it to be known that United are not actively trying to sign the Dutchman.
