Over to RS to find a way of getting the best out of a very talented player.

Ravel Morrison

Former Manchester United player Ravel Morrison has been cleared of threatening to have his ex-girlfriend ‘murdered for £10,000’ .

The Wythenshawe-born Premier League star, 21, is accused of assaulting Rhea Mansoor and her mother Parveen Mansoor back in July.

Mr Morrison was also accused of harassing Reah Mansoor over a four-and-a-half year period, by threatening to throw ‘acid in her face and to pay £10,000 to have her murdered’ in a ‘course of conduct’ stretching between January 1, 2010, and July 20 this year.

But, at a brief Manchester Crown Court hearing today, prosecutor Guy Mathieson revealed the charge of putting Rhea Mansoor is fear of violence by harassment was being not being pursued, and a verdict of ‘not guilty’ was formally recorded on direction of Judge David Stockdale QC.

Mr Morrison, who was dressed in a black shirt and trousers, is still due to go on trial on January 26, facing charges of actual bodily harm and assault by beating against Rhea Mansoor, and assault by beating against her mother.

Mr Morrison was arrested in the early hours of July 27 following reports that Rhea Mansoor, 19, had been assaulted outside a nightclub in Manchester city centre and at an address on Alexandra Road in Peel Green, Salford.

Her 39-year-old mother also claimed she had been attacked.

The talented midfielder has been capped at international level. He moved to West Ham from United in 2012. He remains on the books of the east London club but is currently on loan to Championship side Cardiff City.

Judge Stockdale bailed Mr Morrison to an address in Cardiff on condition he does not contact directly or indirectly the two alleged victims.

He must not enter Greater Manchester except for court appearances or an official football match, and must return immediately after each match.

exactly. He can play. I will not take that away from him, but wouldn't want to go out drinking with him.

Mind you, innocent until proven guilty, so I'll hold my judgments until he's passed through the legal system

That is true but the more serious charges have been dropped and as the original charge against the lad was only common assault, maybe this actual bodily harm may not stand up in court. Common assualt or actual bodily harm can result in fines or community service rather than a spell in the big house.

You never know in cases like this but it would'nt surprise me if the lad eventually is found not guilty of all charges.

Former Manchester United and England Under 21 footballer Ravel Morrison has been cleared of threatening to throw acid in the face of his ex-girlfriend and have her killed.
He was accused of making the threats against Reah Mansoor, 19, as part of a campaign of harassment that it was alleged lasted from January 2010 to July this year.
The talented footballer was also accused of threatening to blow up Miss Mansoor's house.
But the Crown Prosecution Service has now formally withdrawn the allegation, and a verdict of not guilty was formally recorded today during a hearing at Manchester Crown Court which the footballer attended.
The West Ham United player, 21, who is currently on loan at Cardiff City, will still stand trial on the remaining charges of assault against Miss Mansoor and her mother, Parveen Mansoor.
Mr Morrison, who is originally from Manchester, pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault by beating and one of assault causing actual bodily harm on 24 July.
He was arrested in the early hours of July 27 following reports that Miss Mansoor had been assaulted outside a Manchester nightclub and at an address in Salford. Her 39-year-old mother also claimed she had been attacked.
The former Manchester United player denied the harassment charge at a preliminary hearing held in August.

funny how people like craig bellamy, morrison are always in the wrong place at the wrong time.

it takes a certain type of person to get embroiled in things like this.

you do have to wonder whats going on in the lads head. he has all the talent in the world yet he's having to fight charges like this instead of earning great money being a top footballer.

Maybe this is why Slade hasn't featured him so far - wouldn't have been great publicity for the club if he'd been playing and had been found guilty...
