AC Milan came from a goal down to defeat bitter city rivals Inter 2-1 thanks to a quick-fire second-half double to lift the Italian Supercup in Beijing on Saturday. Manchester United target Wesley Sneijder, whose Inter future has been subject of intense speculation, put Inter ahead on 21 minutes at the "Bird's Nest" Olympic Stadium in the Chinese capital.
His delightful free-kick, which he bent around a two-man AC Milan wall and into the top corner, showed exactly why the English champions - and reportedly their money-bags rivals Manchester City - are chasing the talented Dutchman. Inter coach Gian Piero Gasperini afterwards had to repel persistent questions about the midfield schemer's future.
Gasperini said he was disappointed his side has failed to capitalise on their first-half dominance during which striker Samuel Eto'o - who has also been linked with the blue half of Manchester - went close after being set up by Sneijder. But Serie A champions AC were a different proposition in the second period.
