He almost became my favourite player. In fact, I enjoyed watching him playing the left back position at United. And, I think he is a better player than Evra. No offence to any Evra's fans.

I am talking about Gabriel Heinze @ Gaby. I felt at ease whenever I saw his name on the first 11. I felt secured when Gaby marshalled the United defence during the time when Neville was out with injuries. Gaby was a hard tackling defender. One who's always ready to fight on.

He was out with an injury during his first season at United. But everyone at United stood by him. Even Sir Alex did not mentioned about selling him off. And, during that moment.. how Gaby said he was glad that Sir Alex kept his faith on him. How he wanted to repay Sir Alex's kindness.

Yet, recently Gaby was in the limelight. For the wrong reason. He wants to join United's arch rival, Liverpool!! How could that be Gaby?? Is that what you mean by repaying Sir Alex's kindness???

No doubt, your place is not guaranteed in United back four. No doubt, you have to fight for your place. But, tell me... which player(s) in the United squad do not have to fight for his place? Perhaps, Edwin van der Sar. But, how sure are you.. by going to Liverpool, your place is guaranteed? And, how sure are you that your future employers will stand by you should you suffer another injury?

Anyways, Gaby... even if you want to part ways with United, why should it be done in such a way where there is great animosity? To such an extent that you want to bring this matter to court. No doubt that life of a professional footballer is complex. But, I am sure you can settle this dispute amicably.

I still believe that you'll earn more medals with United for the next two seasons. Trust me..
