West Ham boss Sam Allardyce said that new-boy Ravel Morrison has no guarantee of automatic first-team football at Upton Park. The former Manchester United teenager joined the Championship leaders in January after Sir Alex Ferguson's tolerance of the midfielder's off-field antics ran out.

Allardyce said in the Daily Express: "We all know he has got the ability, it's just whether we think that ability can go into the first-team right away.

"If yes, then he can play between now and the end of the season. If not, we'll develop him for the start of next season - wherever we are."
