Former Man United man Ravel Morrison signs for Derby in bid to resurrect once promising career

Wayne Rooney has added former Manchester United midfielder Ravel Morrison to his patched-up Derby squad.

Morrison signed a one-year contract ahead of the Championship opener at Pride Park against Huddersfield Town after spending a period on trial at the club.

It is Rooney's fourth signing in two days as he scrambles to sign players on short-term deals after a summer under a transfer embargo.
