The Argentinian met manager Sir Alex Ferguson on Monday to discuss his future, having confirmed he has brought in lawyers to try to force through a move to Anfield after Manchester United refused to accept the Reds' bid. But in the meantime Heinze has vowed to continue pre-season training with United and let the lawyers and club officials deal with his intended move.

He told The Daily Mail: "I've fulfilled my duties by returning for training and I will now carry on like a professional. I will keep on coming to training and see what happens. I have a muscle injury in my leg but it is only minor and will not keep me out for long."

But he added: "I don't want to spend time at the club just waiting and not playing as I don't think that is in the best interests of the club or myself.

"I've spoken with the coach (Ferguson) and I have insisted that my wish is to leave the club if a big offer appears on the table.

"The only such offer is from Liverpool and it is this that is causing the problem.

"Earlier in the summer I received a promise from United that I could leave if the deal was good for both parties and at the moment there is an offer from Liverpool."

Heinze had pledged to report for duty as ordered by Ferguson and duly arrived at the training complex on Monday morning following a brief break after his Copa America campaign with Argentina.

Ferguson was eager to speak with Heinze to establish his intentions after blaming the 29-year-old's agent for talking up a move to Liverpool, something United are implacably opposed to.

It was expected Ferguson would re-state a position of which chief executive David Gill verbally advised Heinze's agent; namely United will not sell any of their players to a major domestic rival, even though Liverpool have matched the Red Devils' stated £6.8million asking price.
