    <h1>Heinze praises United manager Ferguson</h1>

    LONDON, July 28 (Reuters) - Argentina's Gabriel Heinze is seeking a transfer from Manchester United to their bitter rivals Liverpool but that has not stopped him from praising United manager Alex Ferguson. </p>

    Defender Heinze, still on holiday after helping Argentina reach the Copa America final in Venezuela earlier this month, was quoted in British Sunday newspapers as saying Ferguson was a master man manager. </p>

    'It's his man-management that makes him stand out,' Heinze said in an interview with Sky Sports magazine. </p>

    'He manages to keep a big squad of top-quality players happy,' the 29-year-old left back said. </p>

    'We have an excellent team spirit at Old Trafford.' </p>

    Talking of players on the fringe of the first team, Heinze added: 'He keeps them focused because there is every chance that they will be needed and called upon. </p>

    That is a great skill.' Heinze is keen for a move to Liverpool where he sees more chance of regular first-team football than at United where he lost his place to Frenchman Patrice Evra last season. </p>

    Liverpool have offered &pound;6.8 million which is the sum reportedly needed for Heinze to buy out the remainder of his contract with United. </p>

    Ferguson, however, does not want to let Heinze go to a direct rival for the title United won last season.</p>
