​Sheffield Utd boss Wilder: Morrison destined for big things

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder believes that Ravel Morrison could still have a great career.

The former Manchester United youth team star has squandered several opportunities at senior level.

But he has impressed with Sheffield, for whom he made his debut in a Carabao Cup win over Blackburn Rovers.

The 26-year-old is still working on his fitness, having joined late in the transfer window.

"I'm really looking forward to having Rav here with us," Wilder said to reporters.

"For me, you've already seen he's already going to make a really big contribution for us.

"He's not far off (peak condition) now. There's still a little way for him to go. But he's within touching distance of it now and he'll bring a lot to the table for us."
