The news will anger Alex Ferguson, who has always refused to sell his stars to Anfield.

But unless United make the Tevez loan move permanent, they will be powerless as the player is a free agent this summer.

Fergie blocked Gabriel Heinze moving to Liverpool two years ago even though they wanted to sell him.

Liverpool have contacted Tevez's owner Kia Joorabchian to register their interest and the Argentine is keen on the move.

It will enable Tevez, 25, to continue living in Cheshire where his family are settled. He is not concerned by any animosity the move might cause as he has already stated his desire to stay and feels United do not want him.

Fergie has to decide whether to spend �26m of the �30m he will have available on Tevez but the signs are he will not.

Cristiano Ronaldo has escaped disciplinary action for his strop in the win over rivals City after being substituted by Ferguson.
