Wayne Rooney has handed former Manchester United team-mate Ravel Morrison a lifeline by allowing the midfielder to train with his Derby side this pre-season.
The 28-year-old, a star at United in his youth-team days, has been without a club since leaving Dutch second-tier side ADO Den Haag in January following the mutual termination of his contract.
But now Derby boss Rooney, who kept the Rams in the Championship on the final day of last season, has handed Morrison a potential career lifeline by letting him train with his squad, according to The Sun.
