Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has given credit to West Ham United midfielder Ravel Morrison for his recent form.

The 20-year-old scored what has been described as a "genius goal" by manager Sam Allardyce in the Hammers' 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Before moving to Upton Park, the midfielder was plagued by off-field issues and criticism over his attitude while at Old Trafford.

Ferdinand wrote on Twitter: "Great to see Ravel Morrison playing well & focused consistently now. That goal wouldn't make his top 3 goals show reel by the way!"

Morrison signed for the Hammers in 2012.
