“The situation is very clear and I’m confident in the outcome.
“I’m not looking for any other left-back.”
Meanhwile, Ferguson is confident of United’s position and believes Heinze still has a role to play at Old Trafford.
“Nothing has moved as far as Gaby is concerned,” said the United boss.
“We have a meeting on August 20 which will settle the issue once and for all.
“We think our case is strong and we are depending on that.
“And, if it goes our way, Gaby definitely has a future here. He still has another two years left on his contract.”
