All clubs do this not just United and not really sure how UEFA can come up with rules to stop it

I agree with this really but I don't think the rules should prevent moving just prevent them doing so without adequate compensation for the club which invested in their development. Which is what United did, targeted the player while the owning club has little protection and therefore minimal cost to United.
