RAVEL MORRISON is targeting a shock return to Manchester United.
The Red Devils academy product was tipped to be a future first-team star but failed to live up to expectations.
Ravel Morrison is targeting a shock return to Man Utd
Manchester born Morrison was once the biggest star at Carrington
Morrison ultimately left the club in 2012, after off field concerns and number of injures, before joining Premier League side West Ham.
He has since averaged one free agent season at Derby, Sheffield United, and Middlesbrough, as well as two loan spells at QPR.
And back in September, Morrison signed for the 14th club of his rollercoaster career – Precision FC in Dubai – where he’s made 20 appearances and scored nine goals.
But the 32-year-old, who shares the same hometown as Marcus Rashford in Wythenshawe, has his eyes set on returning to where it all began at Carrington.
Speaking on the Undr the Cosh podcast, Morrison said: ‘I’ve got my B licence now – I did it in the summer.
‘”I want to get into some type of coaching after I retire. That’d be good. I’d like to go back to United!”
Morrison was described by United boss Sir Alex Ferguson as having “as much natural talent as any youngster we ever signed”.
But he was limited to just three first team appearances for Man Utd after making his senior debut against Wolves in October 2010.

But things quickly took the wrong turn and Ferguson later said: “The boy had a good heart. He was just beaten by his background.”
Before his move to Dubai, Morrison had previously played in the USA for D.C. United, in the Netherlands for ADO Den Haag, in Sweden for Ostersunds, in Mexico for Atlas, in Italy for Lazio and for eight different clubs across England and Wales.
Morrison represented England at U16, U17, U18 and U21 levels but he has played senior international football for Jamaica since 2020.
