Ferguson puts Tunnicliffe on notice

 Sir Alex Ferguson has put Ryan Tunnicliffe on notice.

The midfielder could be recalled from Peterborough United as a replacement for the unfortunate Darren Fletcher.

"Of course, young [Ryan] Tunnicliffe is another member – he’s over at Peterborough – he’s playing Championship football at 18 years of age, so he’s doing very well," said Ferguson.

Peterborough eager to extend deal for Man Utd's Tunnicliffe

Peterborough United hope to extend the loan of midfielder Ryan Tunnicliffe.

Posh football chief Barry Fry says manager Darren Ferguson hopes to keep hold of the youngster.

Fry said: "Hopefully Darren can persuade the boy and Manchester United to keep him here till the end of the season and, if that is the case, it will be a great signing for us. When we took him, Sir Alex did say that he only wanted him out until January, so we will have to just cross our fingers and hope he changes his mind on that one."
