Manchester United have admitted they invited a convicted paedophile to Old Trafford as a “special guest” before discovering his crimes.
Geoff Konopka was the manager of United’s first women’s team from 1983 to 2001. In 2011 he was sentenced to four years in prison and placed on the sex offenders’ register for a decade, after being found guilty of 19 counts of indecent assault and gross indecency against girls under 16 years old.
