Ravel Morrison could still go on to prove himself to be a £40million, £50million or £60million player.
That's the opinion of Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder, who has handed Morrison a Premier League lifeline following a series of stints of varying success in England, Italy, Mexico and Sweden.
Morrison last played in the top flight when he was at West Ham and Wilder believes time is still on the 26-year-old's side if he wants to go on and realise his lofty potential.
"It's not for him to keep looking back," Wilder said of Manchester United academy graduate Morrison. "He's got a great platform, a great opportunity. He's been as good as gold with me. We talked to people, did checks on him.
"Financially it was a great deal for us. We are not tied in for two or three years. He's got the chance, if he succeeds, of improving and lifting.
"At the moment we are at a level where a Ravel Morrison fully firing, playing at the top of his game, is someone we get nowhere near - that's possibly a £40million, £50million, £60million player.
"There's definitely something in him, and he does things out of the ordinary, which is what I was after. We are a possession-based team that creates momentum and creates pressure but we've never felt we had someone that could do something out of the ordinary.
"He can and hopefully this might be the time he finds a home, enjoys his football and we have a fabulous player on our hands."
