It has been a momentous four months in the career of Ryan Manning.
After making his first senior appearance for QPR on New Year's Eve, the 20-year-old has proceeded to establish himself as a first team regular for Ian Holloway.
The Galwayman has gone on to start 16 games this season. He's also provided two assists and a goal. Also, a senior Ireland cap is likely to come this summer.
Manning's performances have reportedly caught the eye of Premier League clubs. The Mirror report that both Bournemouth and Crystal Palace have 'made enquiries' regarding his availability.
Manning, who was signed by Harry Redknapp when the club was in the Premier League, penned an extension to his QPR deal back in January which ties him to the London side until 2019. With their Championship status secured, it's likely the club would not be under pressure to sell.
The midfielder's current situation contrasts starkly to how matters appeared for him earlier this season. Prior to the arrival of Ian Holloway in November, it looked likely that Manning would be released by QPR - he had not found the favour of then boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
After impressing Holloway in training, Manning was given an opportunity. He took it and ran.
