Morrison demanding £30,000-a-week to stay with Man Utd

Ravel Morrison is demanding huge money to stay with Manchester United.

The Daily Mail says Morrison has stunned Manchester United by demanding £30,000 a week, despite the teenager making just three first-team appearances.

United have offered Morrison £12,000 a week - an amazing salary for someone so young - and while the player has denied rejecting a new offer, there is now understood to be an impasse. It is not clear if the £30,000-aweek demand includes bonuses.

But talks with Morrison's advisers have gone so badly United have reached a position where they would be prepared to let him go, even though he is rated the best player to come through the club's academy in years.
