Gabriel Heinze has ruled out a Manchester United departure,
while Tottenham boss Martin Jol has played down reports he is
preparing a bid for the Argentine.
Heinze has struggled to force his way into Sir Alex Ferguson's team
this season - having suffered serious injury last term, the player
has been unable to dislodge Patrice Evra this time around.
The marauding left-back has just six months remaining on his United
contract but claims he will not be leaving Old Trafford in
January.
That despite claims United are keen to use the sale of Heinze to
finance a bid for Southampton starlet Gareth Bale.
"I have a contract signed until June 2007 and I do not want to go
anywhere," said Heinze.
"I do not want to be sold in January. I want to wait until June to
see what happens. I have a lot of other options for next
season."
Heinze's insistence appears to have put interest from Tottenham,
Juventus, Milan and Valencia on the backburner and Spurs boss
Martin Jol has told Sky Sports News there is 'no truth' in rumours
linking Spurs with a bid.
The Argentine says he has no axe to grind with Ferguson over his
omission from the starting 11.
"I am happy in Manchester with my work and I want to try and get
back into the team, but it is the coach that decides the team,"
added Heinze.
"My relationship with Alex Ferguson is normal, like any other
player."
