Konopka, who was in charge of the Manchester United Ladies from 1983 until 2001, was sentenced to four years in prison in 2011 after being convicted of indecent assault and gross indecency against girls aged under 16 and 14, The Times reported. He was also put on the s*x offenders' register for a decade.

But last year he was invited by the club to visit as a 'special guest' during a match that was attended by thousands of children and was celebrated for his early involvement in women's football.

United commemorated his career and featured him in the Old Trafford museum even though he had an 'active suspension' on the Football Association's safeguarding system, which banned him from coaching or working with any team.

Several former United Ladies players alerted the club of Konopka's convictions and sent emails to the club's safeguarding co-ordinator after he was featured in promotional article on United's website in July.

Not been a good few weeks for the red devils. I think a points deduction is the only way to sort them out personally

Maybe jinxthinker is right about a certain prominent supporter of this paedophilic club?
