Club failed to conduct checks on former ladies managerUnited have now cut ties after ‘recently’ obtaining information
Manchester United invited a convicted paedophile to be a special guest at the biggest women’s football match in the club’s history, after failing to conduct the appropriate checks despite his position as a former coach at the club.
Geoff Konopka was the manager of Manchester United Ladies between 1983 and 2001, but was sentenced to four years in prison in 2011 and put on the sex offenders register for a decade after being convicted of offences of indecent assault and gross indecency against girls aged under 16.
