Newcastle make improved £1m bid for United teenage midfielder Morrison
Newcastle have made an improved offer of £1million for Manchester United's Ravel Morrison after their initial £750,000 bid was turned down.
The 18-year-old midfielder, who has made two Carling Cup appearances for Sir Alex Ferguson's side this season, will be out of contract in the summer and United are reluctantly ready to sell him after a series of disciplinary matters.
Highly-regarded: but Ravel Morrison's United career has been dogged by personal problems
Morrison signed professional forms two years ago but is yet to make his league debut and has grown frustrated at his lack of first-team action, resulting in repeated fall-outs with the management.
