Heinze tops vote of United players

GABRIEL HEINZE has added Manchester United’s players’ player of the year award to his fans’ prize.

The popular Argentinian full-back polled 31% of votes among the Red Devils’ first-team squad, beating Wayne Rooney (27%) into second place and Cristiano Ronaldo (12%) into third.

It proves what an impact Heinze had in his first season at Old Trafford, which was delayed by his gold medal-winning appearance at the Olympics.
