- In this video, Phil Spencer looks at the stunning rise of USMNT star Aidan Morris.
From growing up in Florida and breaking through with Columbus Crew in the MLS, to fulfilling a boyhood dream by linking up with his idol Michael Carrick at Middlesbrough FC, it’s been an incredible time for the Manchester United fan.
Now starring in the EFL Championship and emerging as a key player for Mauricio Pochettino and the US Soccer Team, this is Morris’ story.

What have you made of Aidan Morris' season so far? 🤔Comment below and let me know!😃
I think hes been amazing. All credit to the guy hes absolutely smashed it.
Considering the stark difference in physicality and quality between the leagues, the fact he's adapted so quickly is quite remarkable!
@philspencerfootball Agreed. And I think hes going to get better and better.
Here's hoping - we just need Middlesbrough to get better too so that he doesn't outgrow us!
@philspencerfootball I don't see why we can't. UTB!
Class video as always Phil! The hard work scouting team's time was definitely well spent with him! Just hope he lasts more than 6 months like rogers 😅😂
God, I hope so! Aidan Morris would be very, very difficult to replace!
As a fellow American, I have high hopes for AM. We really need someone to challenge Tyler Adams for that #6 role in our national team.
I love his non-stop engine, his fearlessness on the ball, his ability to pick a pass and his willingness to make a strong tackle
The only worry I have surrounding Aidan is his long term durability. He's had knee issues, including a fairly serious ACL injury, over the past few seasons.
Thanks for commenting! He's been brilliant since joining Middlesbrough. I hope he can keep himself fit, he's due to be back in action before long. When fit, he's one of Boro's most important players for sure!
Defo my fav signing of the summer
Impossible not to love him.
Morris is our best player right now. Either him or Azaz.
Azaz has been brilliant of late, but Morris has been out best consistently this season.
I personally think the lad is a bit of a star already! He's already improved as a footballer in his (relatively) short time with us, particularly in terms of his possession & forward passing game. He appears to compliment Hackney perfectly & for me .... they form our most dynamic option/pairing in that central area! Their combination is what's importantly allowing Azaz the freedom to play between the attacking lines so effectively (& not just recently!). Rapidly becoming a key component of the team .... #UTB
What a great comment! Completely agree with all of this - I think he's added that little bit of bite that our midfield has needed in the last couple of seasons, while also being pretty handy on the ball!
I think it helped Aiden that he played for the best manager in MLS, and the Crew probably play the best looking football in the MLS. Unfortunately, for the Crew their manager may only last another year or two, and then had to Europe. You can watch what they did against Aston Villa this summer, if people are interested in the system he played last. They also have another really good young prospect too, that I think is Canadian. Anyways, look for more us yanks in the future, because MLS I trying to become more of a sellers league, and they even give teams benefits from the strict salary cap for U22 players.
He's certainly been a heck of a signing. A real fans' favourite already!
I also thought it would take a little while to settle down, lets be honest coming from the US to the North East of England is a big ask for anyone. Him and Hackney have been on fire both will be getting some serious attention over the next year, i believe both of them have what it takes to be playing top flight football.
Sshhhh, don't say it too loudly! (although I definitely agree with you)
You’ve absolutely cursed us here mate, within the next 24 hours he got injured haha!
Still great content as always
I'm just grateful that you think I have that much influence!! Ha cheers mate, appreciate it.
The fans at Columbus Crewe were all very upset, about the signing of Aiden to Boro.
I was watching the all the comments they did wish him all the best at the time though to be fair. Because it was a move I
Up in his career and experience and we've been a Lucky as a Club to get him, he certainly has a great attitude and has adapted extremely well. Which some don't obviously with climate being one of them also different styles of play.
Yeah, he looked to be very popular there. Probably because of all the characteristics that we're falling in love with!
He’s injured with a knee injury
Nightmare, isn't it! Video was filmed before that happened but it's all still relevant!
Just some constructive criticism phil. You've changed your name to include boro bonkers but you refer to middlesbrough rather than "us". If its just boro content. "Us" would get more people on board imo.
Always appreciate the feedback mate, thanks!
