Gabriel Heinze flew back to Argentina tonight for the final part of an international mission that has infuriated Manchester United, insisting he is not responsible for his prolonged Old Trafford absence.

Heinze added a cherished Olympic gold medal to the runners-up prize he picked up in the Copa America last month as Argentina eased past Paraguay to clinch the title for the first time in 52 years.
