Interesting discussion about Ravel Morrison on 5 Live earlier this month. They discuss how he was spotted and what made him stand out from the rest of the youth players. They also talk about his disciplinary problems.

If I recall correctly he said that he is similar to Gazza.

Interesting conversation but let's not buy into the hype.
I am not sold on Ravel and he is 18 now not 13. Well, let's see how he turns out

He said he reminds him of Gazza in the way that he can light up the place with a bit of magic.

What do you mean by that?

I know that we don't want to put too much pressure on the lad but it's always exciting when you have a young local lad with such talent that could be something special in the years to come.

I dont think he will actually feel the pressure that much. He seems full of confidence.

I think he will be one of those players that thrive under pressure - I think the bad parts of his personaity probably result from lack of excitement and stimulation generally - it might be that he finds the reserve/youth team set up a bit boring - and does other things to get that rush. If we can give him a taste of first team football and possibly some minutes during the champions league group stage it may satisfy him enough to sort himself out

I doubt Morrison will ever make it for Utd, he seems to be a bit of a helmet.
Has all the ability any young lad could ask for but doesn't seem to be able to stay away from trouble.
Pogba on the other hand will be first team player within a year i predict.

He will make it but I think he'll have problems until he gains some maturity. I agree Pogba is close and Tunnicliffe who looks like a powerful battling midfielder with an engine like Keane.

Will Keane is also another promising forward
Each of them have a good chance of following Welbecks footsteps if they work hard and fufill their potential
