QPR boss Redknapp: Sir Alex tipped me off about Morrison when he was 12 years old

QPR boss Harry Redknapp admits he's been aware of Ravel Morrison since he was a 12 year-old junior at Manchester United.

Morrison, on-loan from West Ham United, scored twice in victory over Birmingham City on the weekend.

Redknapp aid: "What a player he is.

"I've followed his career from when he was a 12-year-old and what Sir Alex (Ferguson) told me. For whatever reason he's been let go, but we're glad we've got him.

"He's a real talent and he rode tackles and took his goals well. We wasted opportunities and they were always in the game - but this is a massive win for us."
