Morrison due in court today

Ravel Morrison was due to appear in Manchester Crown Court today on charges of common assault.

The two counts of common assault  relate to his ex-girlfriend Reah Mansoor, 19, and her mother, 39-year-old Parveen Mansoor.

An additional charge of harassment in relation to Reah Mansoor was added to the indictment during a brief court hearing earlier.

David Fish QC, representing Morrison, has indicated that he would be pleading not guilty to all three charges.
