Monday, August 6 is set to be crunch day in the Manchester United career of Gabriel Heinze.
Heinze's action is staggering and will almost certainly signal the death knell on his time at Old Trafford.
Yet Sir Alex Ferguson has made it perfectly clear not only does he believe United have right on their side, he expects Heinze to honour his contract and turn up for training as planned.
"He is due back in training on August 6, which gives him three clear weeks' rest after the Copa America. And we expect him back," said the United boss.
