QPR are ready to launch a loan bid for Manchester United starlet Frazier Campbell.

Rangers' focus had been across town at rivals City, with a view to taking striker Ched Evans away from Eastlands as the final piece in the squad jigsaw.

But City boss Mark Hughes has a mounting catalogue of injury woes, and Evans looks like staying put for the time being.

Rangers have since made soundings for 20-year-old Campbell who made his Premiership debut for United against Newcastle - but there are strings attached to any switch, with Ferguson only willing to release Campbell if he gets Berbatov from Spurs by Monday.

A Ranger source said: "With four strikers, including Vine, there is no urgent need for another."
