Fulham boss Meulensteen full of admiration for West Ham's Morrison

Fulham boss Rene Meulensteen has admitted his admiration for West Ham United midfielder Ravel Morrison.

The pair worked together at Manchester United.

Meulensteen refused to be drawn on a bid for Morrison but, when asked if the England Under 21 star was a player who needed special attention, he said: "Yes. It's our responsibility as a coach to create the right environment. Ravel is a very talented player. He loves football and is a delight to coach.

"It's not a surprise that he's flourished and is doing well," he added. "There is so much more to come from him.

"When you're a young player and you've proved that you can play at this level then you want to get playing; you want to keep on going."
