Red Devils and England star Lingard then re-shared the sepia image on Instagram with his 9.4million followers.

The photograph shows Lingard with his arm around Morrison and has the words ‘My brother from the jump’ written on it.

Both were recruited by United’s youth academy as promising young players and have gone on to forge professional careers.

Morrison has represented England at youth level and now has nine caps for Jamaica.

Since leaving Old Trafford in 2012 he has played for clubs including West Ham, Lazio and Dutch-side ADO Den Haag.

After a successful trial he signed a one-year deal last summer with Championship side Derby, where his manager is Red Devils legend and former team-mate Wayne Rooney.
