Sir Alex Ferguson has called on the Premier League to block Zeki Fryers’s move to Tottenham, suggesting it was engineered to leave Manchester United up to £3million out of pocket.

Ferguson wants an investigation into the ‘trail’ of evidence explaining how the former United defender, 20, joined Spurs for £3m from Standard Liege this week, just over four months after signing a two-year deal with the Belgians.

‘I’m disappointed in Tottenham, I really am,’ said the United manager. ‘I think it’s a blatant manipulation of the situation. They tried to buy him at the end of last season and we couldn’t agree terms.

‘They took him on trial and to Portugal with the Tottenham squad and came back and said they couldn’t afford him. All of a sudden he signs for Standard Liege and when I heard that I expected him to go to Tottenham in January. The Premier League should stop the registration until they examine it. There will be a trail, mobile phones (records) or something. It’s obvious to me.’

Tottenham hoped to sign Fryers when his United contract ended last summer but refused to meet the £6m demand after the pre-season tour of Portugal.

The tribunal system and rules over compensation for players under 23 are different in Belgium, so United received less than £1m from Liege. Then, after seven appearances in Belgium, Fryers moved to Spurs on Thursday.

It is understood no rules have been broken and United are not believed to have made a formal complaint.

Sir Alex Ferguson, what a c*nt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enough said.

Haha I was just about to post this. Levy really is a sneaky bastard. Love it

Ha ha ha ha ha, Levi really outplayed the old man on this one.
A day to remember!
Keep up the good work, DL :-))

Good another pointless thread

Makes it all sweeter...

Brilliant. This action alone should stop any moaning about Levy all transfer window.

(but it wont)

Fuck off you red nosed ****.

Maybe Levy should ask how Berba was at manure, when Levy had accepted a bid from citeh.

Oh Fergie boy, oh Fergie boy... why don't you retire before you get a heart attack on the pitch.

It's times like these that i could kiss the crown of his little bald head.

It took him a while but i reckon Levy's got right under Fergie's big red nose.

I wont be able to sleep tonight, knowing Fergie is disappointed with Spurs...

lol

Brilliant what a shrewd chairman we have. I do however old red nose tapping up berbatov wasn't much said then was there. Oh yeh that s cos u were made pay full wack through that big red nose

I've been all over the on-line football community tonight - well, it is Friday - and there is much glee and amusement among fans of all clubs - to be fair, some ManU fans as well - about Fergie's rant over Fryers. Seems like Spurs and Levy have scored a popular victory on this one.

I just hope the kid is good!

How can he be disappointed in us if he knew we were going to do it? Surely we just lived up to his expectations.

Dozy old coot. Him saying he knew we were going to pull this is an absolute fib. Levy outsmarted Man Utd on this one. Just admit defeat graciously on this one. Man Utd are one of the worst for tapping up and manipulating rules so they should be very careful with this one. Like someone said, the Berbatov fiasco could bite them on the arse.

This is from the man that unsettled and tapped up Carrick and Berbatov from us..

Do spurs have an affiliation with Standard or do ENIC have anything to do with them?

Fuck off Red nose if the shoe was on the other foot you would get away with it with nothing said.

the words 'DOSE OF OWN MEDICINE', come to mind!

Amusing twitter account with some Levy jokes about this.
