Former Manchester United bad boy Ravel Morrison scored a brilliant first goal for Mexican side Atlas on Sunday.

The midfielder is currently at the Liga MX team on loan having sealed a transfer deadline day move from Lazio.

His current playing status is a fall from grace since the heady heights of Manchester United's youth team.

But a series of bad decisions have led to Morrison jumping club nearly every year.

Sir Alex Ferguson once said of the 24-year-old: "He possessed as much natural talent as any youngster we ever signed, but kept getting into trouble."

Rio Ferdinand also once described the midfielder as "the best young kid that I've ever seen in my life".

The former United centre-back added: "Better than Joe Cole was when he was a kid. Ravel Morrison, I've never seen a guy look so comfortable on a football pitch."

And Morrison scored a goal true to his talent on Sunday. Using a step-over to glide past one defender, the Atlas star then buries an edge of the box effort into the bottom corner.

Following the game, Morrison took to Instagram to say: "Good win and good performance for the team."
