Ravel Morrison joins Wayne Rooney's revolution at DC United

Wayne Rooney has persuaded Ravel Morrison to join him at DC United.

The midfielder has signed a one-year deal with option for another year.

Morrison played under Rooney at Pride Park, making 38 appearances and scoring five goals after joining the Rams in July 2021.

The duo also played against each other early on in Morrison's career. 

'Wayne worked closely with Ravel during his time as manager of Derby County,' Dave Kasper, DC United president of soccer operations, told the club website.

'Ravel is an incredible talent and his ability to create and score goals is impressive.

'He has played at the highest levels during his career and his vision, creativity and ability on the ball will be a huge asset for us.'

Jamaica international Morrison began his career at Manchester United alongside Rooney, but he made only a few senior appearances before moving to West Ham in 2012.
