Marseille defender Heinze set for red-hot Man Utd return

Olympique Marseille defender Gabriel Heinze faces a hot reception at Manchester United next year.

United have drawn Marseille in the Champions League round of 16.

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson said: "Didier Deschamps is their coach and they've got one of our old players in Gabriel Heinze, so it'll be nice to see him."

But the Argy may not get a warm welcome from the Old Trafford faithful.

Heinze was a popular figure in his three years with the Red Devils but blotted his copy book in 2007 when he tried to join bitter rivals Liverpool.
