The Football Association are to investigate goalkeeper Tim Howard's £2.3m move to Manchester United.
Documents which allegedly show evidence of a payment to an agent and breaches of FA rules have been passed to the governing body by The Sunday Times.
The FA's compliance unit is to look at the deal which saw Howard arrive at Old Trafford from Metrostars last July.
"Various documents are now in our possession," confirmed David Davies, the FA's executive director.
"They will be studied very carefully and any breach of the rules and regulations that they show will then be discussed as a matter of urgency."
Since arriving at Old Trafford, US international Howard has established himself as manager Sir Alex Ferguson's first-choice keeper.
