Ferguson tells Man Utd fans to watch out for Morrison, Tunnicliffe

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has told fans to look out for England tyros Ravel Morrison and Ryan Tunnicliffe in the near future.

Ferguson believes the future is in safe hands at the Theatre of Dreams.

"Over the last decade, we've worked upon bringing young talent into the club, like, Wayne Rooney, Chicharito, Anderson and Nani, and we've brought all these players," said the legendary United boss.

"But that doesn't dismiss the fact that we like to produce our own young players and I think there are several players in the present youth team who are doing really well.

"The likes of Ryan Tunnicliffe and Ravel Morrison, you see some of them doing very, very well, so we're always going to put an emphasis on young players coming through from the youth team. That will always be the case.

"We've got some excellent young players of good ages, you know. Like, for instance, Chicharito, who is 22, Jonny Evans and Darron Gibson, who are 23, and Chris Smalling who's 21.

"So, yeah, we've got a good nucleus of young players in the club which gives you the foundation to be able to protect the future and know it's going to be alright."
