Chelsea's Cole Palmer Names Former Man United Talent Ravel Morrison in Dream Five-a-Side Team

Chelsea star and England midfielder Cole Palmer recently named his ultimate five-a-side football team, surprising fans by including Ravel Morrison, a former Manchester United youth academy graduate who failed to establish himself at the senior level. Palmer's lineup featured himself, Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Morrison, raising eyebrows given Morrison's tumultuous career marked by multiple transfers and limited appearances, including stints in England, Italy, the United States, and Dubai. Despite Morrison's struggles and free-agent status, Palmer, who hails from the same hometown of Wythenshawe as Morrison, showcased a personal connection and respect for the talented but flawed midfielder. Palmer also selected goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois for his team, despite never having played alongside him, reflecting his admiration from observing Courtois' performances against Manchester City in European competitions. The relationship between Palmer and Morrison appears friendly, as they follow each other on social media and Morrison congratulated Palmer on his England call-up. Overall, Palmer's choices reflect both footballing prowess and personal ties rather than conventional club affiliations or current form.
