Ravel Morrison said: “Chris is a top manager, he’s a manager all the players have respect for because he treats everyone the same. The only frustrating time with the time at Sheffield is that I wasn’t getting much game time because they were flying last year. They had great results and also had good players. Flecky [John Fleck] is unbelievable, they had him and Lunny [John Lundstram] in midfield, and David McGoldrick. They had a good team and they were all performing last year as a team. So it was frustrating that I wasn’t playing because I would have liked to play in that team because I thought I could bring a lot to it. But with the results they were getting, you can’t really complain.”
Morrison is once again on the lookout for a new club after having his contract terminated by Dutch club ADO Den Haag in January. Reflecting on why he hasn’t been able to settle at a club,
Ravel Morrison said: “I think it’s because a lot of people already have a picture in their head of what I am like, so people don’t want to commit and say: ‘We’ll bring him to the club for two or three years’.
Ravel Morrison added: They think ‘We’ll give him six months because he might be a problem’ and then it takes three weeks to get into the team, to gel and everything, and you’re losing fitness because you’re not playing games.”
The former Manchester United prodigy was a surprise signing for the Blades when Chris Wilder brought him to the club as a free agent ahead of the 2019/20 season. Having signed a one-year deal with the Blades, with the option of a further year, Morrison would make just four appearances for the club before being released at the end of last season.
