West Ham midfielder Ravel Morrison has been remanded in custody until next Thursday after appearing in court accused of punching and slapping his ex-girlfriend and her mother.
Morrison, 21, charged with two counts of common assault, closed his eyes and puffed his cheeks out after being refused bail at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
Morrison, who spoke only to confirm his name and age, is alleged to have assaulted ex-girlfriend Reah Mansoor, 19, and her mother Parveen Mansoor, 39, in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Morrison, from Urmston, Manchester, was arrested on Wednesday and appeared in court on Thursday.
District Judge James Prowse refused a bail application made by Morrison's solicitor Ros Emsley-Smith.
The defendant, who did not enter a plea, was remanded into custody until August 7.
Reporting restrictions were not lifted.
The former Manchester United player is alleged to have assaulted his ex outside a bar in Manchester city centre.
A further assault on her and on her mother is alleged to have taken place a short time later at her mother's house on Alexandra Road in the Peel Green area of Salford.
Wearing a white t-shirt and white jogging bottoms, Morrison, whose address in court was given as Welwyn Close, Urmston, Manchester, but who also rents an apartment at Canary Wharf in London, sat in the dock listening during the hour-long hearing.
He was later handcuffed and taken back to the cells as bail was refused.
District Judge Prowse told him: 'You are remanded in custody to appear back before this court by video-link from prison one week from today on August 7.'
Earlier, a spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police said: 'At about 3.20am on Sunday, July 27 2014, police were called to an address on Alexandra Road, Peel Green, Salford, following reports a 19-year-old woman and a 39-year-old woman had been assaulted.
'Officers attended and a 21-year-old man was subsequently arrested at a later date.
'Ravel Morrison, of Urmston, is charged with two common assaults.'
Morrison was widely tipped to become a Manchester United regular as one of the club's best home-grown prospects in their youth teams.
But the midfielder was sold by former boss Sir Alex Ferguson to West Ham for £650,000 in January 2012.
He has since been loaned out by West Ham to Queens Park Rangers and Birmingham City.
