Former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney has frozen out former academy star Ravel Morrison from DC United’s Major League Soccer team.
It’s been an on-and-off career since the 30-year-old left Manchester for Lazio in 2015.
Before that, he was loaned out to Birmingham, Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff City.
Despite his enormous potential, he has not been able to stay at any club and has found himself looking for a new home quite often.
In recent years, he has formed a strong partnership with Rooney, who brought him to Derby County, before reuniting at the start of this season in the United States.
The current head coach of DC United has had a rocky start to his career in the United States and has now dropped Morrison from his MLS squad according to talksport.
Once dubbed the most talented player of his age by Sir Alex Ferguson, it now seems likely that the Jamaican international will not play football again this season.
Rooney had managed to get a tune out of the talented Morrison at Derby County but has struggled since moving to MLS.
He has featured 14 times for DC United so far, scoring twice, but he won’t be appearing again anytime soon.
The coach spoke to the club’s media where he mentioned the importance of having different players in different positions.
“I felt with the players we were bringing in and the different things you have to consider in terms of budget, international slots, etc.”
“It was more important to have different players for different positions, which we felt were more important to me.”
Rooney and Morrison were at United once, but never shared a field together.
It remains to be seen where the future lies for the talented midfielder now that even Rooney has set him free.
