Ravel Morrison has revealed his intentions to return to Man United in the future.
The United academy product – who played alongside the like of Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard – was tipped to be a future first-team star but struggled to live up to expectations.
He ultimately left the club in 2012, after concerns over off the field problems and number of injures, before he eventually joined West Ham.
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.
However, now Morrison has revealed he has already considered his plans for when he does retire and they involve a potential return to Old Trafford.
Speaking on the Undr the Cosh podcast, Morrison said: ‘I’ve got my B licence now – I did it in the summer.

‘I do 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’ and capped by England up to Under 21 level.
However, things hadn’t worked out for Morrison at United 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.
He played in the Premier League for West Ham and Sheffield United, as well as turning out for Birmingham City, Cardiff, Queens Park Rangers, Middlesbrough and Derby County in the Championship.
His latest move was announced by his new club via Instagram in a statement that read: ‘We are beyond excited to welcome the incredible Ravel Morrison to Precision FC!
‘This is more than a signing – it’s a statement, a game-changer for both our club and football in the UAE.

‘This is the start of something extraordinary. Welcome to the family, Ravel!’
Morrison represented England at U16, U17, U18 and U21 levels but he has played senior international football for Jamaica since 2020.
According to Rio Ferdinand in 2018, legendary United manager Sir Alex Ferguson once said of Morrison: ‘He possessed as much natural talent as any youngster we ever signed.’
