Fergie: Harry the right man for Rs

Premier League: QPR v Man Utd

The Hoops have averaged a point a game since Redknapp took charge at Loftus Road immediately after their first meeting with United at Old Trafford in November.

Yet it is a measure of the perilous situation they were in before Redknapp was installed as Mark Hughes’ successor that they remain four points adrift of Wigan at the bottom of the table — and, more importantly, seven behind Aston Villa, who sit just above the relegation zone.
