Sheffield United coach called Maddy Cusack a 'psycho', complained about the 27-year-old's weight and dropped her from line-up before her death', her family claim

Sheffield United head coach Jonathan Morgan is alleged to have called Maddy Cusack a 'psycho' whilst in the dugout for another club and dropped her from the starting line-up and made complaints about her weight after being appointed by the Blades, according to her family.

The 27-year-old's tragic death in September sent shockwaves around the footballing world, and in the wake of her death, her family shared a speech read by her mother Deborah at her memorial that said that 'her spirit had been allowed to be broken by football'.

Sheffield United opened an independent inquest into the death of their vice-captain in December, and after nine weeks, concluded that there was 'no evidence of wrongdoing'.
