Former Man United youth star joins his 14th club by moving to the UAE

Former Premier League star Ravel Morrison has just signed for his 14th club at the age of 31.

The midfielder, who was tipped for greatness when he was in the Manchester United academy, has moved to the UAE to join Precision FC in Dubai.

Precision won promotion to the UAE's second division last season.

Morrison had previously played in the USA for D.C. United, in the Netherlands for ADO Den Haag, in Sweden for Ostersunds, in Mexico for Atlas, in Italy for Lazio and for eight different clubs across England and Wales.

He played in the Premier League for West Ham and Sheffield United, as well as turning out for Birmingham, Cardiff, Queens Park Rangers, Middlesbrough and Derby County in the Championship.

His latest move was announced by his new club via Instagram in a statement that read: 'We are beyond excited to welcome the incredible Ravel Morrison to Precision FC! 

'This is more than a signing – it’s a statement, a game-changer for both our club and football in the UAE.

'Known for his electrifying talent and skill, Ravel brings world-class experience and flair that will help our team to achieve it’s goals.

'This is the start of something extraordinary. Welcome to the family, Ravel!'

Morrison represented England at U16, U17, U18 and U21 levels but he has played senior international football for Jamaica since 2020.

According to Rio Ferdinand in 2018, legendary United manager Sir Alex Ferguson once said of Morrison: 'He possessed as much natural talent as any youngster we ever signed.'

Ferdinand told BT Sport (now TNT Sports): 'I was at the club when he was there. Probably the most gifted, the most naturally gifted young kid I've ever seen.

'Sir Alex Ferguson, I remember he called me and Wazza (Rooney) over one day and said "look at this kid, he's better than you Rooney when you were a kid, he's better than you Rio, better than Ryan Giggs when you were kids. This is the best kid you will ever see".'
