Man Utd boss confirms rejection of Newcastle's bid for Morrison

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that the club has turned down a bid from Newcastle United for Ravel Morrison.

The highly-rated 18-year old midfielder was the subject of an offer from the Magpies but Ferguson says that proposal has been turned down as the Old Trafford outfit tries to meet the player on his demands.

"His agent has been working hard to get him another club," said Ferguson.

"We've offered him terms which he has refused. His demands are unrealistic as far as we're concerned.

"We've rejected an offer from Newcastle. It's all down to how that progresses."
