Man U - Tapping up Schoolkids?

In today's Telegraph there is an article on rooney's transfer to manure in which Ferguson is quoted as saying:

"Wayne came up against our youth team four years ago and I got the call from my staff, saying: `We have seen a player who we had better do something about'. We showed an interest but he didn't want to leave Everton. "

By my maths that would have made Rooney 14 when he was approached. Isn't that against FA regulations?

Saw Taggart interviewed yesterday and he said that they've been tracking him since he was 14.

They did the same for Dayveed didn't they?
