MANCHESTER UNITED flop Ravel Morrison is on the brink of joining Dutch side ADO Den Haag - the 11th club of his career.
The 27-year-old is a free agent after Sheffield United opted against extending his current contract.
Morrison made just four appearances for the Blades before featuring another three times during a loan stint with Middlesbrough.
But he failed to get his career back on track and is now set to start the latest chapter of his underwhelming career.
According to , Morrison has held talks with the Eredivisie strugglers and is expected to sign a deal in the coming days.
Morrison was regarded as United's brightest prospect when coming through the Red Devils academy in 2010.
Wayne Rooney even claimed he was a better player than Paul Pogba while Rio Ferdinand suggested he should have been a £100million superstar.
Even Sir Alex Ferguson lauded him as the most technically gifted player to come out from the youth team.
But he was plagued with behavioural issues off the field including being convicted of intimidating a witness to a knife point robbery.
In 2012, Man United finally lost patience with Morrison and reluctantly allowed him to join West Ham.

Loan spells at Birmingham, Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff followed before earning a permanent switch to Lazio.
He would make eight appearances in Rome and was shipped back to QPR on loan before sealing a temporary switch to Mexican side Atlas.
Morrison would then join Swedish side Ostersund before Chris Wilder gave him another lifeline in England.
Last month Morrison hit back at critcism that he never hit the heights expected of him.
In a long thread, he wrote: "Don’t compare me to your average, there’s different levels...
"There’s no next Ravel Morrison [or] he’s the same as Ravel Morrison because they have hiccups. I’ve had life struggles, the amount of obstacles I have had to climb in my life use will never understand.
"You could never walk in the shoes I’ve walked in, never and will NEVER come across scenes of what my eyes have seen, sometimes in life things plan out perfect and sometimes things are just not meant to be!
"Life can be difficult sometimes.
"BUT I’m born to [lose], Built to win amen. Just don’t judge me before you no me [sic].";
