Sheffield United sign Ravel Morrison on one-year deal

Sheffield United have signed former Manchester United midfielder Ravel Morrison on a one-year contract.

The 26-year-old has been handed a deal after impressing manager Chris Wilder during a trial period with the Blades.

Morrison joins Sheffield United on a one-year contract but the new Premier League club say the deal has an "option for a longer stay" at Bramall Lane.

"Ravel is an undoubted talent and we are delighted that we have put together a deal that suits all parties," manager Chris Wilder said.

"I've spoken to a number of people about him and it is clear that he has serious ability.

"We are getting a fantastic footballer with a tremendous pedigree and this is a great opportunity for Rav, we believe we can help him get back to the level he wants to be.

"He's done extremely well during his time with us and it was great to have him in Portugal. It wasn't about him coming and being on trial because we knew about his abilities.

"Taking him with us was basically getting to know him and what he's about, what makes him tick and how he integrates with the players. Trips like what we have been on are invaluable for that."
