| Date of birth | 19 April 1978 |
| Place of birth | Crespo |
| Nationality | Argentine |
| Weight | 72 kg |
| Height | 1.78 m |

Heinze joined Manchester United in June 2004 on a five-year contract, proving the great success of a disappointing 2004-05 season, Heinze's skill and tremendous enthusiasm at left-back soon endeared him to the fans.
In the words of Henry Winter: "He defends like an Argentine and attacks like a Brazilian." The arrival of Patrice Evra blocked his progress and he moved on to Real Madrid.
