Ravel Morrison returns to the Premier League with Sheffield United

Ravel Morrison is often remembered as an example of a player who did not make it big despite having otherworldly talent. However, the Manchester United academy product who used to be spoken of in the same breath as Paul Pogba is now making a return to the Premier League with Sheffield United.

Sheffield have signed Morrison on a one-year deal with the option to extend. Chris Wilder, Sheffield's manager said,

"Ravel is an undoubted talent and we are delighted that we have put together a deal that suits all parties. I've spoken to a number of people about him and it is clear that he has serious ability.

"We are getting a fantastic footballer with a tremendous pedigree and this is a great opportunity for Rav, we believe we can help him get back to the level he wants to be.

"He's done extremely well during his time with us and it was great to have him in Portugal. It wasn't about him coming and being on trial because we knew about his abilities. Taking him with us was basically getting to know him and what he's about, what makes him tick and how he integrates with the players. Trips like what we have been on are invaluable for that."
