West Ham footballer Ravel Morrison has been charged with assaulting two women, police said.<\/p>\n
Morrison, 21, of Urmston, is accused of attacking a 19-year old woman outside a bar in Manchester in the early hours of Sunday.<\/p>\n
He is further charged with assaulting her and a second woman, aged 39, at an address in Salford hours later.<\/p>\n
The footballer is due before Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court later.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
He was sold by former boss Sir Alex Ferguson to West Ham for \u00a3650,000 in January 2012.<\/p>\n
He has since been loaned by West Ham to QPR and Birmingham City.<\/p>\n
