Manchester United Gabriel Heinze and Patrice Evra



Sir Alex Ferguson has ruled out any possibility of Gabriel Heinze leaving Manchester United for Liverpool.
The £6million offer was immediately rejected by United, even though it met their private valuation.
Many clubs from across Europe have also been linked with the 29-year-old, including Spanish champions Real Madrid, but it is unclear if anyone else has made an offer.
Real Madrid and Inter Milan have both been linked with the 29-year-old, who has become something of a folk hero among United fans because of the robust nature of his defending.
Ferguson is not convinced that the left-back is determined to leave the club, but if he was to stay he'd be competing with Patrice Evra for a place in the starting line-up.

Defender Patrice Evra,  admitted that he will no be the first choice left back but will fight for his place. Despite his recent form, the Frenchman does not believe his place in the first-team is set in stone. He told Sky Sports News: “I'm not the first choice, I'm just a player for Manchester United. 
Evra also had a few words for his team mate, saying: “Football is quick and you don't know. Gaby maybe is back and Mikael (Silvestre) I thought he played very well.

“I say when you do not give your best, the boss will take you on the bench. Nobody, in every game, is sure to play the game.”
