Crystal Palace and Bournemouth are going head-to-head for QPR starlet Ryan Manning.

The Premier League pair have both made enquiries for the left-footed midfielder, 20, who has burst onto the scene this season.

Manning was set to be released at the end of this season under former boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink but has become a first-team regular since catching Ian Holloway's eye late last year.

Holloway said: "I have had some wonderful players and, in my view, Ryan is up there with them. He is a special talent."

Manning's impressive form earned him an Ireland under-21 call up, with a senior one expected to follow soon, and he has also been rewarded with a new deal that runs until 2019.

But Palace and the Cherries are now poised to test Rangers' resolve to hang onto Manning.
