The Sun:

Real Madrid are poised to throw Manchester United into even greater chaos — by slapping in a £10million offer for Argentina defender Gabriel Heinze.

Old Trafford boss Alex Ferguson has discovered Ruud van Nistelrooy wants to join Bayern Munich.

And the Red Devils are already resigned to losing Portugal winker Cristiano Ronaldo, who has repeatedly insisted he will not return to see out his four-year contract with the club and fancies a move to Real or Barcelona.

Now losing Heinze could leave the club reeling as the new Premiership season is less than six weeks away.

Spanish giants Real have a new president, cash to spend and need to replace left-back Roberto Carlos.
