fair do's...

latest is that Heinze's future is set to be decided in the courts, according to his representatives, United signed a 'valuation letter' earlier this summer which stipulated that the player could leave Old Trafford if a £6.8m fee was secured, they claim that no restriction on which clubs Heinze could join was mentioned...

But according to David Gill the letter is "meaningless".

word is that Gill also insists he verbally informed Heinze's agent that United would not be prepared to do business with any of their main Premier League rivals...

relations between the clubs have been further eroded by Sir Alex Ferguson's hint that ManYoo are investigating whether Liverpool made an illegal approach for Heinze...

Sir says "We are examining some of the statements coming from his agent and when contact was first made with Liverpool," he told reporters on the pre-season tour of Asia. "We are not happy with the agent's conduct in the matter and we are examining that, but it will take a couple of days before we have anything more to say..."
