Posh wanted to sign United youngster Danny Welbeck on loan, but were told Fergie was not interested in loaning the forward out to a Championship side.
Welbeck instead joined Sir Alex’s son Darren Ferguson’s new side Preston on loan on Monday.
“We asked United if they would let Welbeck join us on loan but were told there was no way they would allow him to play in the Championship,” Fry said in The Sun.
“Yet United have let him join Preston. Obviously Alex wants to give us a good hiding for his son leaving.”
