G. Heinze wants to stay in the "Man Utd" club © EuroFootball.com

Argentina national team and left-back Gabriel Heinze has stated that he does not want to leave an English club.

G.Heinze promised to be loyal to "Man Utd" after rumors spread that this summer the defender would return to Spain. Former "Newells Old Boys", "Valladolid", and "Paris Saint Germain" defender could be sold to the Spanish giants Madrid for £10 million, and newer rumors claim that this player is being eyed by the UEFA Champions League winner.

Despite Spanish clubs' desire to have this defender in their ranks, the talent from South America is eager to repay "Red Devils" coach Sir Alex Ferguson for the support he received when he suffered a serious knee injury at the beginning of last season and had to miss a significant part of the season.

"I am settled in Manchester and it never crossed my mind to leave the club," Heinze told "The Sun." "I heard that Spanish clubs are interested in me, and I am very proud that Real Madrid would want me to see me in their team."

"It's a great compliment to me, which can make any professional happy," added the 29-year-old player. "However, 'Man Utd' and the coach of this team supported me when I suffered a knee injury last season and couldn't play, and if they want me to continue my career in Manchester, I am ready to do so."

Meanwhile, "Man Utd" is actively looking for reinforcement in the transfer market, and it is believed that the club is willing to pay up to £20 million for England national team midfielder Michael Carrick. Former "West Ham" player can join the "Red Devils" this week.

"Man Utd" manager Sir Alex Ferguson is known to be a big fan of M.Carrick, whose passing abilities and ball-holding skills earned him a spot in the lineup of the England national team that participated in the World Cup. If M.Carrick leaves Tottenham, it is possible that Tottenham will try to replace him with Bolton's captain Kevin Nolan.

It is also speculated that "Man Utd" will be joined by goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak from Poland and "West Bromwich Albion" in the upcoming season. If the "Red Devils" want to acquire this goalkeeper, they will have to pay €5 million to the club that was relegated to a lower English league last season.

The club also needs to negotiate the sale of its players - the Spanish media claims that Madrid's "Real" is increasingly trying to sign Manchester's forward Ruud van Nistelrooy. The newspaper "Marca" claims that the Dutchman is ready to leave England and try his luck in the Spanish championship, but both clubs will still have to agree on the transfer fee.

R.van Nistelrooy's future at "Man Utd" club has been uncertain since he spent a large part of the second half of the season "warming up" the bench for substitute players and did not appear in the League Cup final against the "Wigan" eleven. The player's dissatisfaction reached its peak when the team manager Sir Alex Ferguson, three hours before the last game of the season against "Charlton," once again did not include the Dutchman in the starting lineup and also ordered him not to participate in the recent farewell match of the retiring Irishman Roy Keane.

In the battle for the Dutch forward with the "royal" club, whose new president Ramon Calderon has promised to purchase 6 or 7 new players, will seek to join Munich. It is believed that "Real" coach Fabio Capello's desired list of players is topped by Juventus defender Fabio Cannavaro, but according to reports from Spain, one of the main targets of Madrid club is R.van Nistelrooy.
