Argentinian ace Carlos Tevez is desperate for the saga of his transfer to Manchester United from West Ham United to be settled, having missed all of the pre-season action.
The 23-year-old is still waiting to be given the green light to seal his switch to Old Trafford and is concerned that the delays will hit his fitness levels.
He told The Daily Mail: "We need a solution quickly so that I can get on with my career.
"To play for a super club like Manchester United without any pre-season work behind me is going to be a real handicap.
"I am a fighter and am prepared for any challenge, but this is going to be very difficult.
"I desire a swift solution and demand now that all parties arrive at an agreement because I just want to play.
"Mentally I am prepared to play for United at any moment, but physically it may be more difficult the longer it goes on."
Meanwhile, wantaway United defender Gabriel Heinze hopes to have his future sorted out as soon as possible, with a move to Liverpool having been blocked by the Red Devils.
"Sometimes the player is the last one to find out where he will play," Heinze told The Sun. "I know there are several teams interested in me and that makes me feel really proud.
"I'll know precisely in what team I'm going to play at the end of the week. In a few days we'll see what will happen."
