Newcastle make improved £1m bid for United teenage midfielder Morrison

By Sportsmail Reporter

 

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.
