Former Manchester United midfielder Ravel Morrison has caused controversy after posting a homophobic threat on twitter.
Responding to suggestions he was a drug user on Twitter, Ravel tweeted: “Crack head ? Go suck out u little faggot your a guy that talks if u see me you try slap me I'm in manchester every week.”
The 19-year-old has seen his career blighted by a number of incidents including charges of witness intimidation and an altercation with his girlfriend.
Morrison has been hailed as the greatest youth talent to emerge at Old Trafford since Paul Scholes but joined the Hammers for a fee thought to be in the region of £1million, rising to £2m, on transfer deadline-day after Sir Alex Ferguson reportedly ran out of patience with his behaviour.
