Ravel Morrison has until the end of next week to earn the chance to face former club Manchester United by securing a loan move to Wigan Athletic from Lazio.
Morrison, 23, is currently training with Championship club Wigan after being told he has no future with Lazio.
Wigan manager Warren Joyce, previously Morrison's reserve team boss at United, has given the midfielder the opportunity to resurrect his career at the DW Stadium following his failure to make an impact in Serie A.
The former United youngster, who played alongside Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard during the club's successful FA Youth Cup campaign in 2011, has not kicked a ball for Lazio since making a seven-minute substitute appearance against Sampdoria in April 2016.
