Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted United have "hit a brick wall" in
the attempt to bring in new players during the transfer window, but
the manager has confirmed that he does not want Gabriel Heinze to
leave.
Speculation mounted this week that Heinze could move on in the
summer, but Sir Alex forcefully denied the rumours on Friday.
Asked if he would like to keep Heinze at United, he responded
unambiguously: Absolutely, of course.
I can never determine between truth and fact in newspapers," he
added. "One paper said his contract finishes in June. Thats wrong,
it ends in 2009. When I read that I immediately went diving for my
file. I was sure that wasnt right. We dont allow these things to
happen.
It doesnt appear hopeful that United will make any signings during
the transfer window. Hopes of bringing Owen Hargreaves to Old
Trafford might have to be put on hold until the summer, while it
has been claimed Southampton have rejected an £8million package for
talented teenager Gareth Bale.
Were hitting a brick wall [with bringing players in], added Sir
Alex, without acknowledging specific transfer targets. I make the
point every year, not a lot happens in January. Its usually very
quiet. I've spoken to a few other managers who are finding it
difficult.
