Derby County winger Lee Morris could be sensationally returning to Sheffield United over an unpaid instalment. Derby paid £3million for Morris three years ago but are struggling to come up with the funds to pay the next instalment of £500,000. If the Pride Park club are unable to make the payment, United boss Neil Warnock is believed to be more than willing to take the player back to Bramall Lane.

Morris was a big hit in his time with The Blades despite his young age and less than a season's worth of appearances.


His time at Derby has mainly been blighted by injury but since John Gregory took over the reigns the 22-year-old has made the left wing his own, impressing in both the Premiership and 1st Division.
