Troubled United youngster Morrison quizzed by police over harassment allegation


Manchester United starlet Ravel Morrison has been questioned by police after he was accused of harassment.
The gifted 18-year-old is highly-rated at Old Trafford and is tipped to have a bright future at the club.
But questions will once again be raised over his behaviour off the field.

Morrison is no stranger to the police and in January he pleaded guilty to witness intimidation and was warned he would be locked up for a year if he was convicted of another offence before the end of 2011.
But just four months later, he escaped with a fine after admitting criminal damage following a bust-up with his girlfriend.
In this latest case, he attended Swindon police station voluntarily, by appointment, with his solicitor.
Morrison was accused of visiting Pendleton College, which is attended by the teenage witness who he admitted to intimidating in a separate case.

It is understood the victim’s family complained to police, alleging Morrison had been seen outside the college and had attempted to approach the teenager.
He was not arrested but was asked to sign a harassment letter, explaining the seriousness of harassment and telling him he would be in trouble if he was found to be committing the offence.
Signing the letter is not an admission of guilt but Morrison is understood to have denied any improper behaviour.
