A teenager was reportedly arrested for sending a death threat to Wigan Athletic youngster Callum McManaman on Twitter.
The 21-year-old has been making headlines following his reckless tackle, which went unpunished, on Newcastle United's Massadio Haidara.
The tweet read: "cant wait till you come to st james' #GonnaDie #GetYourFuneralPlannedKid."
Police arrested a 17-year-old boy in Ashington, Northumberland and issued a fixed-penalty notice, according to The Metro.
The incident from Wigan's 2-1 victory over Newcastle left Haidara needing hospital treatment.
