Sheffield Utd boss Wilder takes Morrison to Portugal

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has named trialist Ravel Morrison in his squad for Portugal.

Wilder initially let Morrison train with the Blades for week while he assessed the former Manchester United, West Ham and Lazio attacker, who is a free agent, says the Mirror.

The Blades boss has been impressed by Morrison's ability and wants to have a closer look at the 26-year-old during the club's training camp in Portugal.

Wilder plans to play Morrison, who was released by Swedish side Osterunds FK at the end of last month, in Friday's friendly against Real Betis.

Wilder is also close to re-signing England Under-21 goalkeeper Dean Henderson from United on another season-long loan.
