Alex Ferguson has insisted Gabriel Heinze will still have a future at Manchester United even if the Premier League reject his proposed move to Liverpool.
Heinze has a letter he believes entitles him to join the Anfield club, who have matched United's stipulated desire for a £6.8million transfer fee.
United officials contend the letter, signed by chief executive David Gill, does not over-ride the Argentina defender's contract, which still has two years to run.
Currently sidelined with a minor knock sustained during the Copa America, Heinze will have his future determined by the Premier League, who are due to assess the situation on August 20.
The United boss said: 'Nothing has moved as far as Gaby is concerned. We have a meeting on 20 August which will settle the issue once and for all. And, if it goes our way, Gaby definitely has a future here. He still has another two years left on his contract.'
