Strike duo Smith and Rossi set for Old Trafford exit

ALEX FERGUSON has dropped the broadest hint yet that Alan Smith and Giuseppe Rossi are on their way out of Old Trafford — but quashed any suggestion of Gabriel Heinze leaving for Liverpool.

Ferguson, whose side tackle K-League outfit FC Seoul in the second game of their Far East tour today, clearly has issues over the involvement of Heinze’s agent in talks over the 29-year-old’s future.

And he has told a player who spent almost an entire year of his three-season stint at United recovering from major knee surgery he can forget any idea of turning Anfield into his home ground.
