Morrison rose through the United academy to become one of England's most promising young players, but he went on to make just three senior appearances for the Red Devils and was sold to West Ham two years after his debut. Since then, the Jamaica international has played in Italy, Mexico, Sweden, Netherlands and the United States.

WHAT LYNCH SAID

While Morrison was unable to live up to his early promise, Precision team-mate Joel Lynch, who also played with him briefly at Queens Park Rangers, says the 31-year-old still looks "exceptional" in training.

"I played with Ravel for a short time at Queen's Park Rangers and obviously he comes with so much expectation," he said on . "He's an exceptional talent, even in the couple of days he's been here. He's been embarrassing players with all his nutmegs and all his skills. You don't really want to go anywhere near him on the pitch. There's pressure he's under as well to be Ravel Morrision, the way that people have talked about him in the past. We want him here, it's a great environment and he can come here and enjoy his football."
