West Ham boss Allardyce: Fergie will be delighted for Morrison

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce says Sir Alex Ferguson will be as happy as anyone over Ravel Morrison's current form.

Morrison, 20, was tipped to become a Manchester United superstar but Ferguson eventually let him leave after a series of on and off the pitch problems.

Allardyce, delighted as West Ham recorded their first away win against Spurs since 1999, said: "What did Sir Alex say to me about Ravel? 'I hope you can sort him out because if you can he will be a genius.' He needed to get away from Manchester and start a new life and it looks like it is paying off.

"The penny has dropped with him in terms of lifestyle, attitude and his time-keeping."
