Morrison confirms plans to play for Jamaica

Former Manchester United midfielder Ravel Morrison has confirmed he is travelling to Jamaica with a view to changing his allegiance at international level.

The BBC reported this week that the 25-year-old, who plays for Mexican side Atlas on loan from Lazio, was considering declaring himself available for the Caribbean nation.

Morrison, who played for England as a youth player up to Under-21 level, tweeted on Tuesday to say he hopes to finalise terms with the Jamaican Football Federation in the coming days.

"Making my way to Jamaica," he wrote. "Sorting my documents & papers this week so can be ready for the next games.

"Looking forward to watch the game on Sunday 25th [against Antigua and Barbuda]."

Morrison came through United's academy and was part of the FA Youth Cup-winning side of 2011 that also included Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard.
