Reds to call on Heinze variety

MANCHESTER UNITED boss Alex Ferguson is ready to call on Gabriel Heinze to help muscle Chelsea out of the Premiership title.

The Argentina full-back has not played for the Red Devils since rupturing cruciate ligaments in a Champions League encounter with Villarreal in September.

Even at the start of this month, Ferguson was playing down Heinze’s chances of being heavily involved, insisting the tough-tackling defender’s exposure to first-team action would depend on United’s situation heading into the final few games.
