Blackburn kid Morris celebrates debut with Berbatov Man Utd shirt

Blackburn Rovers youngster Josh Morris ended his Premier League debut with the treasured Manchester United shirt of five-goal star Dimitar Berbatov.

The 19-year-old midfielder was the sole bright point for Rovers in their 7-1 demolition at Manchester United after impressing in his second half cameo and he hopes his appearance will be a sign of things to come.

"It is a dream come true," Morris told Rovers World. "Obviously it is a shame about the result but to play the last 30 minutes in front of 70,000 is a dream.

"It is everyone's dream to play, especially at Old Trafford. I was told I was coming on, did a warm up, and the next minute I came on. I am still buzzing from it. Hopefully I get another chance in the next few weeks."
