Manchester United's American starlet Jonathan Spector has admitted that he is growing frustrated at the red-tape preventing him from playing for his club.
The 17-year-old holds an EU passport, but a Fifa rule that stops under-18s being registered outside of their own nation has prevented him getting his chance.

"I don't really understand whey they're keeping me from playing," said Spector.

"Legally I could have any other job here. It's a fairly new rule and I signed before it went into effect."

Spector admitted that he is annoyed to miss out on the FA Youth Cup, which would have given him a chance to make an impact.

"I want to play in matches anyway, but I'd really like to be part of that," added the youngster - who paid testament to manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

"He really looks after people well. He knows everyone's name at the club, even if you just meet him one time."
