Emotional Ravel Morrison reveals he'd 'change 90% of my life' if he could go back to his Manchester United debut as a talented teen... after being 'touched' by heartfelt tribute from Sir Alex Ferguson, who says midfielder 'was beaten by his background'

Ravel Morrison admitted he wishes he could go back to his Manchester United debut as a 17-year-old because he would 'change 90 per cent' of his life thereafter.

Morrison emerged from United's academy as one of the most talented prospects in years and was handed his first team debut in the League Cup against Wolves in 2010 by Sir Alex Ferguson.

But Morrison, now 28, failed to maximise his potential at Old Trafford and recently left ADO Den Haag, the 11th club on his CV since leaving United.
