Heinze Reveals No 'Hair-Dryer' Treatment

Manchester United full-back Gabriel Heinze has revealed he is yet to undergo a session with Sir Alex Ferguson's hair-drying treatment, despite a few errors as of late from United squad.

The £6.9 million former PSG defender is earning rave reviews with strong, attacking performances at left-back for The Red Devils in his first few months at Old Trafford with his new team-mates.

Olympic Games duty with his country Argentina prolonged his United debut, but he sure made up for it, bagging a goal on his debut against local-rivals Bolton Wanderers.

"I haven't had the hair-dryer treatment myself but I have seen one or two things when the games have not been going so well," said Heinze.

"But that's just a normal part of football. I don't find it scary. The only things I am scared of are aeroplanes!" he quipped.

Heinze has also sung striker Ruud van Nistelrooy's praises, adding: "It's almost absurd for me to start talking about Ruud van Nistelrooy because everyone knows how good he is,"

"For me, he is the most complete forward in the world and I do what I can just to try and avoid playing against him in training."
