Sheffield Utd boss Wilder hails 'free spirit' Morrison

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder hailed the performance of Ravel Morrison for victory over Carabao Cup opponents Blackburn Rovers.

Morrison produced a man of the match display in their 2-1 win against Blackburn in the Carabao Cup.

“He's not a million miles off. I knew what I was going to get with Ravel today," Wilder said.

“He's a bit of a free spirit at times and we have to work hard on the sidelines to nail him down at times from a shape point of view and out of possession.

“But I think you've seen what he gives you in possession. We want him to play further forward at times, because when he does he goes into overdrive and speeds the game up. He's got genuine quality to hurt."
