After the 2000–01 campaign, where he appeared in 36 league games to help the Castile and León side narrowly avoid top flight relegation, Heinze moved to Paris Saint-Germain, where he amassed over 100 overall appearances in three years, helping to the 2004 conquest of the Coupe de France.

In June 2004, Heinze joined Manchester United for a fee of £6.9 million. He marked his debut on 11 September with a goal in a 2–2 away draw against Bolton Wanderers,{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/3599088.stm|title=Bolton 2–2 Man Utd|publisher=BBC Sport|date=11 September 2004|access-date=16 September 2009}} and immediately established himself as first-choice left-back, being regularly lauded by fans with the chant of "Ar-gen-tina!"{{cite web|url=http://www.manchesterunited.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=77628|title=Is Fergie serious about Heinze?|publisher=Vital Football|date=10 August 2007|access-date=22 August 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928190919/http://www.manchesterunited.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=77628|archive-date=28 September 2007}} and eventually voted the club's best player for the 2004–05 season.{{cite news|url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/heinze-wins-players-award-1076673|title=Heinze wins players' award|newspaper=Manchester Evening News|date=12 July 2005|access-date=8 May 2018}}

On 14 September 2005, Heinze was injured in a UEFA Champions League match with Villarreal and was ruled out of first-team action for the rest of the campaign.{{cite news|url=https://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20050917/sport/heinze-faces-long-lay-off-with-knee-injury.77984|title=Heinze faces long lay-off with knee injury|newspaper=Times of Malta|date=17 September 2005|access-date=8 May 2018}} Previously, he had scored two goals in the same competition, the 3–0 second-leg qualifier away win over Debreceni.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/4171220.stm|title=Debrecen 0–3 Man Utd|publisher=BBC Sport|date=24 August 2005|access-date=16 September 2009}} He made a comeback with the reserve team in April 2006, but a minor injury picked up in his third game back prevented him from making a first-team appearance before the end of the season. The consequence of this injury was the signing of Patrice Evra, who went on to become the club's first-choice left-back in the following years.

Heinze returned to action for United in 2006–07, and eventually won a place in the side back as a central defender, due to an injury crisis. After the team had sealed the Premier League title, he was named captain for the last two games of the season, away to Chelsea{{cite web|url=http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid={B4CEE8FA-9A47-47BC-B069-3F7A2F35DB70}&newsid=426251|title=Report: Chelsea 0 Manchester United 0|publisher=Manchester United F.C.|date=19 May 2007|access-date=22 August 2007}} and at home to West Ham United.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/6627803.stm|title=Man Utd 0–1 West Ham|publisher=BBC Sport|last=Nurse|first=Howard|date=13 May 2007|access-date=8 May 2018}}
