Gabriel Heinze had been a fans’ favourite at Old Trafford, with the crowd loving him for his strong tackling and tough nature. “Argentina!” we would chant when he got stuck in to a really meaty challenge. After Patrice Evra became Manchester United’s first choice left-back, Gabriel Heinze wasn’t prepared to work for his place in the team, and he was off.
It appears as though the club had told him he would be allowed to go if the asking price was met but weren’t expecting hated rivals Liverpool to stump up the cash.
Heinze repeatedly expressed his desire to join Liverpool and was critical of the manager for not allowing him to move to Anfield. United had just won the league for the first time in years but Liverpool managed 3rd, so there was no way the club could let one of our better fringe players join a competitive rival, let alone one we despised as much as Liverpool.
In the end, Real Madrid more than met the asking price and he moved to Spain, leaving a broken relationship with the club and manager behind, something he now regrets.
“I don’t have many regrets from my career as a footballer, but that episode with Ferguson [has] to be one of them,” Heinze told ESPN. “I’m impulsive and strong-willed and this has got me into trouble at times, which was the case at the time when I left United. On reflection, it is easy to see that Ferguson was a major influence on my career, in a positive way. I thought my mind was set to be a winner before moving to United, but I had only completed part of the journey. Sir Alex makes every player he comes into contact with so much more driven and committed. He demands that his players dig as deep for the cause and I’m sorry that we fell out in the final days because I still have so much respect for him.”
United won the league and European Cup the following season whilst Heinze was in Spain with Evra viewed as the best left back in Europe. Heinze last another season at Real Madrid before he was sold to Marseille, who United face in the Champions League tomorrow.

Too late cocksucker! You tried to leave United, for our biggest rivals, stick your apologies up your back bangle. Come on Nani, roast this cunt!

Sad troll is troll.
how many times have i heard “i regret falling out with fergie…” heinze was a good player scored on Debut against bolton i think… oh well Patrice is still Better
Well In Life One Moves On. At Least He Was Man Enough To Apologise Unlike His Brother At Man City Who Is Looking At Playing In Brazil Again. Lets Get Over It, And Move On
Fuck him and his crocodile tears. Evra > Heinze
Who? There’s only one Gabriel that I know and his surname isn’t sponsored by a bean merchant.
Shouldn’t off cried when we refused the Liverpool move the moaning git.
But to force a transfer to Liverpool? Liverpool!!! Can you trust a word out of this player’s mouth?
PREVIEW | Marseille Preview: Get On Your Bike At The Vélodrome
http://www.theunitedreligion.com/2011/02/marseille-preview-get-on-your-bike-at.html
Tell that to players who have bigger ambitions.
Whenever I read posts from theunitedreligion my eyes are fucked lol. Good Preview though!
We did him a favour not selling to Liverpool but he is too pig-thick to say Thank You.
You made your bed now go and lie in it.
I havent cheered or chanted for Rooney since “the incident” he can fuck off aswell – I am glad we beat City but would have prefered Berba to play instead of Rooney and I think we would have still won the game but with a different goal.
Heinze and Rooney can suck my Red helmet
too late. good player but a idiot nevertheless.
why is it most argies turn out to be cunts
Too late asshole. You have pulled the string too much when you where at this great club. You even took the club to court if I’m not mistaken just to join the idiots when you knew how much we despise them. Now on your bike and go and fuck yourself you pufta !!!!!
Of course you regret falling out with Fergie and wanting to join Liverpool. Your just about to come to OT to get a fucking good kicking you whey faced Argentinian cock sucker. If Marseille (who are themselves a bunch of degenerate cunts – Frances Beirut without the christian element) were’nt coming to OT then you can count he wouldn’t be apologetic. Cunt is on his back with belly up, now stamp on the cunt!!
wayne, I don’t know why but I think Sir Alf Ramsey and Sir Matt Busby had a similar opinion, Best too and no doubt if you ask Bobby he’d have a few strong words.
Maggie too wasnt that keen………………………………………
Fall out? You were acting like a bitch in order to join Liverpool and he said no. You are not forgiven.
By the way, expect similar comments from another Argie troll in 2 years..
“Oi…Get your filthy hands off my desert!”
“What ‘e say?”
Brezhnev took Afghanistan.
Begin took Beirut.
Galtieri took the Union Jack.
And Maggie, over lunch one day,
Took a cruiser with all hands.
Apparently, to make him give it back.
Ugggggghhh, seeing the armband on this P.O.S. just makes me want to fucking puke.
I will urinate on you Gabriel.
What’s it with Argies and United..eh? Can’t blame the gaffer if he stalls on buying talents from there. They don’t seem to last the weather at OT.
