Ravel Morrison slams wage rumours

Manchester United midfielder Ravel Morrison has hit back at claims that he has demanded a £50,000-per-week contract at Old Trafford.

The 18-year-old has been linked with a number of clubs, including Serie A giants Roma, after negotiations were thought to have broken down between his representatives and United.

Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson recently revealed that Morrison's demands were "unrealistic".

"Never asked for 30k 50k 20k never refused 12k were do people get all this from," Morrison tweeted.

Newcastle United had a bid for the player rejected last week.
