Former Manchester United youngster Ravel Morrison has risked punishment from the Football Association by posting a homophobic threat on Twitter.
Morrison, who joined West Ham United on transfer deadline day, was responding to an accusation that he was a drug user.
"Crack head ? Go suck out u little faggot your a guy that talks if u see me you try slap me I'm in manchester every week," he replied on Twitter.
Morrison's message has since been removed.
The incident is the latest in a lengthy line controversies involving the 19-year-old.
He has previously been charged with witness intimidation and was questioned by police following an altercation with his girlfriend.
