Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has accused Tottenham Hotspur of 'manipulating the rules' in signing his former defender Ezekiel Fryers and urged the Premeir League to stop the player's registration.
.
The 20-year-old was out of contract at United in the close season. He looked set to join Tottenham but the deal broke down when the clubs failed to agree a compensation package.

England youth international Fryers then moved to Standard Liege in Belgium but completed a transfer to Tottenham on Thursday, with media reports estimating the fee at three million pounds ($4.81 million).

'' We espected that '', Ferguson told the United website on Friday. '' I think it's a blatant manipulation of the rules ''.

Spurs entertain third tier Coventry in the FA Cup on Saturday.
Ferguson should just forget the whole matter and move on to other important things
