Heinze expected for pre-season
Sir Alex Ferguson fully expects Gabriel Heinze to report back for
pre-season training in two weeks time.
The want-away Argentine defender is currently on holiday having
spent the last month on international duty with his country at the
Copa America.
United turned a near £7million bid down for the 29-year-old from
Liverpool last week following months of speculation over his
future.
Despite having not personally spoken to the player himself, Sir
Alex insists Heinze will report back to Old Trafford next
month.
"I do not need to discuss anything with him," said the Reds' boss.
"I expect him back in training in about two weeks' time.
"He is currently on holiday after the Copa America, which is
natural because he needs a rest, just the same as every other
player.
"Meanwhile, we are trying to steer our way through the minefield
because his it is his agent's mark behind what is happening at the
moment.
"They have been pretty difficult people to deal with."
