West Ham footballer Ravel Morrison has been remanded in custody after two
women were assaulted. Mr Morrison, 21, of Urmston, appeared before
Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court accused of attacking a 19-year old
woman outside a bar in Manchester on Sunday. He is further charged with
assaulting her and a second woman, aged 39, at an address in Salford hours
later. His next hearing is on 7 August before Manchester and Salford
magistrates.

A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police said: "At about 3.20am on Sunday
police were called to an address on Alexandra Road, Peel Green, Salford,
following reports a 19-year-old woman and a 39-year-old woman had been
assaulted. "Officers attended and established the young woman had also been
assaulted outside a bar in Manchester city centre earlier that evening and a
21-year-old man was subsequently arrested at a later date."

The midfielder was widely tipped to become a Manchester United regular as
one of the club's best home-grown prospects in their youth teams. He was
sold by former boss Sir Alex Ferguson to West Ham for £650,000 in January
2012. He has since been loaned by West Ham to QPR and Birmingham City. The
21-year-old has won four England Under-21 caps.

West Ham have declined to comment.

West Ham midfielder Ravel Morrison remanded in custody for common assault

West Ham midfielder Ravel Morrison has been remanded in custody at
Manchester Magistrates' Court until August 7 after being charged with two
counts of common assault. Morrison has been charged with section 47 assault
and two counts of common assault after police were called to an address in
Salford in the early hours of Sunday morning - and District Judge James
Prowse refused a bail application made by his solicitor Ros Emsley-Smith.
The 21-year-old Morrison, who spoke only to confirm his name and age, is
accused of attacking his 19-year-old ex-girlfriend Reah Mansoor outside a
bar in Manchester city centre and later assaulting the same woman and her
39-year-old mother Parveen Mansoor in Salford. A police statement confirmed:
"At about 3.20am on Sunday, July 27 2014, police were called to an address
on Alexandra Road, Peel Green, Salford, following reports a 19-year-old
woman and a 39-year-old woman had been assaulted. "Officers attended and
established the young woman had also been assaulted outside a bar in
Manchester city centre earlier that evening and a 21-year-old man was
subsequently arrested at a later date. "Ravel Morrison, of Urmston, is
charged with two common assaults. He is due before Manchester and Salford
Magistrates' Court on July 31, 2014."

The midfielder started his career at Manchester United in 2009 but left to
join West Ham in the January 2012 transfer window before loan spells with
Birmingham and QPR. An England U21 international Sir Alex Ferguson once
hailed as the most talented player he had seen, Morrison impressed for West
Ham in the early part of last season and was tipped to make Roy Hodgson's
World Cup squad before he was shipped out to QPR in February. Hammers
manager Sam Allardyce had opened the door for Morrison to return to the
first team fold in pre-season before news of his latest controversy broke.

Ravel Morrison has been denied bail after he was accused of punching and
slapping his ex-girlfriend and her mother. The Premier League star, 21,
appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Thursday, and has been remanded
in custody until August 7 Morrison, who currently plays for West Ham, was
charged with two counts of common assault. He closed his eyes and puffed his
cheeks out after being refused bail. The former Manchester United player,
who spoke only to confirm his name and age, is alleged to have assaulted
ex-girlfriend Reah Mansoor, 19, and her mother Parveen Mansoor, 39, in the
early hours of Sunday morning. He was arrested on Wednesday. District Judge
James Prowse refused a bail application made by Morrison's solicitor Ros
Emsley-Smith.

Morrison did not enter a plea.

A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police confirmed earlier on Thursday:
"At about 3.20am on Sunday 27 July 2014, police were called to an address on
Alexandra Road, Peel Green, Salford, following reports a 19-year-old woman
and a 39-year-old woman had been assaulted. "Officers attended and
established the young woman had also been assaulted outside a bar in
Manchester city centre earlier that evening and a 21-year-old man was
subsequently arrested at a later date. "Ravel Morrison, of Urmston, is
charged with two common assaults. "He is due before Manchester and Salford
Magistrates' Court on 31 July 2014."

Despite being one of the most highly rated youngsters of his generation,
Morrison failed to make a Premier League appearance for Manchester United,
and he was eventually sold to West Ham for a fee of £650,000 in January
2012. The deal also included a clause that saw United earn £25,000 for every
first team appearance he made for the Hammers. At the time, West Ham boss
Sam Allardyce revealed Sir Alex Ferguson had told him of Morrison: "A
brilliant footballer. Brilliant ability. Top-class ability. Needs to get
away from Manchester and start a new life."

Morrison has struggled to settle and has loan spells at Birmingham City and
at QPR. The midfielder's Hammers future looked bleak only a week ago when
indications suggested he'd played his last game in East London. A number of
factors, including a delay of groin surgery and an aversion to long-haul
flights, had seemed to put an end to Morrison's time at Upton Park. But on
Wednesday boss Allardyce moved to quash such speculation insisting the
England Under-21 international was part of his plans, should he put the time
in. "We thought we'd brought Ravel to the forefront of his abilities this
time last season," he told talkSPORT. "He had a fantastic pre-season and
started the season very well. That drifted away a bit and he ended up at
QPR, helping them get promoted.
"If he gets back to knuckling down, and getting used to the discipline side
of the game, then his talents are outstanding."

Allardyce's change of heart falls in line with recent comments from
co-chairman David Sullivan who sees Morrison as a key part of the club's
future. "Sam has said Ravel is not part of his plans but we do - as a board
- see him as part of our plans," he said last week. "I think he (Allardyce)
said in a press conference, if I read it correctly, he's not part of his
plans for this season. I think he said that in New Zealand but we don't
agree with that. We would like to sit down and give him a longer contract.
"We do see him as part of the long-term future of the club but we have to
agree it with the manager because there's no point signing a player he's not
going to play."

West Ham have so far declined to comment on his arrest and charge.
