Heinze would be tempted by Spanish move

Gabriel Heinze has admitted he would seriously consider leaving Manchester United for Barcelona.

The 29-year-old Argentina full-back insists he will not make a decision about his future until after this summer’s Copa America but would be tempted by a move to the Nou Camp.

Heinze is thought to be out of favour at Old Trafford after some indifferent form last season.

He said in the Sunday Mirror: “I know some clubs are interested in me but I have decided to leave this subject on standby for the moment.

“Barcelona is a super-club, like Manchester United. If formal offer is tabled, I’ll need to study it calmly.

“Nobody at United has told me I’m not wanted next season. I know the rumours of transfer offers have appeared but that’s not a problem for me.”
