Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Gabriel Heinze wants to
leave Manchester United.
Heinze has been linked with a summer move after losing his regular
left-back slot to Patrice Evra last season.
The Argentinian has been courted by Liverpool, Newcastle United,
Real Madrid and Barcelona, although Ferguson has yet to receive a
firm bid.
However, the Red Devils manager acknowledged that Heinze is hoping
to secure a transfer before the start of the season.
"Gaby's agent has advised us that he wants to move on," said
Ferguson.
"I am not too sure about that and we do not have a concrete offer
from any particular club.
"But there is some momentum regarding the player's next move in
terms of through his agent, even if nothing is close at this moment
in time."
Heinze joined United from Paris Saint Germain in a £6.9million deal
three years ago and has made 83 appearances for the club, having
missed the bulk of the 2005/06 season through injury.
Meanwhile, Ferguson has also confirmed that Gary Neville and Ole
Gunnar Solskjaer should be back in training prior to the opening
game of the season.
Louis Saha, though, is likely to sit out the match with Reading on
12th August as he is not due to return to training until the middle
of next month.
