Justin Bieber is used to fans snapping his photo. Dubai police say he also triggered some speed cameras while driving a white Lamborghini during his stop in the Gulf city.

Dubai newspapers on Tuesday quoted a police official saying the megastar racked up a "number" of speeding fines before being pulled over.

The official was not named and no other details were given. The media office for the Dubai police referred to the newspaper reports when asked for comment.

Bieber's representatives didn't immediately return calls seeking comment.

It was not the only mishap for Bieber in Dubai.

He was jostled onstage Sunday as security guards tackled a fan who climbed out of the crowd during his second and final Dubai performance.

In a bit of showmanship of its own, the police in Dubai recently added a Lamborghini and other fast, flashy cars to its fleet.

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has been fined $A12,450 for failing to give a post-match press conference following his team's Champions League tie with Real Madrid, while winger Nani was banned for one game.

Nani was sent-off in United's 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford in the second leg of their last-16 tie, as the English club exited the competition 3-2 on aggregate.

Ferguson, who was visibly angered at the sending-off decision, then refused to show up at the press conference.

European football's governing body UEFA confirmed the sanctions on Friday following a meeting of its control and disciplinary body, with Ferguson's fine being handed down for "non-fulfillment of the post-match media obligations."
