Manchester United defender Gabriel Heinze, voted supporters player of the year in 2005, could find himself plummeting from fans
favourite to hate figure in the blink of an eye if the player and his advisors continue to push for his transfer to Liverpool. It’s all very well for Heinze to say that it is a dream move but he obviously does not understand what the fans reaction will be to such a deal - transfers between Manchester United and Liverpool just do not happen.

Even though the Merseysiders have been on the slide in recent years, the bitter rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool remains as stronger as ever. Heinze has played for United for 2 years now so surely he must know this, if not he needs his head testing! Sir Alex Ferguson has made it his position on the matter crystal clear,

“Heinze is not going to Liverpool as far as I am concerned”

The United manager has also expressed concern over the actions of Heinze’s agent, reading between the lines it seems there has been some tapping up going on.

Liverpool are growing more frustrated with United standing firm by continuing to block the transfer deal. Great news! Manchester United chief executive David Gill has said today,

“He is a contracted player for two years and unless we receive an offer which is acceptable to us as a club, he will remain with us.”

As United fans we all know that Heinze is a good player, and we should not sell any of our good players to Premiership rivals. But selling players to Liverpool - no way! It is great to see the club standing firm on the issue and not giving in to player power.
