West Ham United and Newcastle United have been linked with a move for Queens Park Rangers left-back Ryan Manning, but he’s been ripped apart for his performance in Monday’s defeat to Brentford.
QPR were beaten 3-1 on home soil by their London rivals and the 23-year-old found himself exploited on more than one occasion.
London News Online have linked him with a potential move to West Ham, whilst the Northern Echo claim Newcastle are plotting a £3million January pursuit.
The young central midfielder has excelled in an unfamiliar position so far this season, but QPR supporters weren’t happy with his last outing…

READ WEST HAM’S VERDICT
It’s difficult to say Manning would arrive at West Ham and instantly improve Manuel Pellegrini’s side, but he’d certainly add much-needed depth.
He’s a natural central midfielder but, barring his performance against Brentford, he’s looked sublime at left-back this season so he could certainly provide competition for the likes of Aaron Cresswell and Arthur Masuaku.
