Rio Ferdinand claims Ravel Morrison could have become a '£100m player' had he and Manchester United handled his situation better

Rio Ferdinand claims Ravel Morrison could have gone on to become one of the world's most valuable stars if he and Manchester United had handled him his situation better.

Morrison was in the same United under-18 side as Paul Pogba, Adnan Januzaj and Jesse Lingard and was said to impress Sir Alex Ferguson more than anyone else in that age group.

Morrison eventually left Old Trafford for West Ham in January 2012 after a string of off-the-field incidents. The 27-year-old is currently on loan at Middlesbrough from Sheffield United.
