Old Trafford: Torben Aakjaer sacked by Manchester United

Manchester United have fired one of their scouts after allegations he posted anti-immigration on a social media website.

A report in the Guardian claims Torben Aakjaer published the posts on Facebook, but they now appear to have been removed.

United suspended Aakjaer after the allegations came to light and after a brief investigation, they sacked the Dane.

"We have terminated our association with him (Aakjaer)," a United spokesman said on Wednesday night.

Responding to the initial claims, United issued a statement which ended: "Manchester United is an inclusive organisation and will not tolerate this sort of behaviour."

Aakjaer, who has previously worked at Hamburg, started scouting for United in 2011.

On his Instagram page, the Dane has posted several pictures of the club's training ground in Carrington which he described as his "working place".

Aakjaer posted a selfie with United winger Nani and he also published a picture of a letter he received from Sir Alex Ferguson wishing him well on his wedding day.

Manchester United claim top spot of the Premier League Twitter table with Stoke City bottom of the pile on social media

* Manchester United come out on top of post-season statistics from Twitter
* The Red Devils eclipse Premier League champions Chelsea for most posts
* Juan Mata's bicycle kick against Liverpool generated largest single spike
* Arsenal still have the most number of Twitter followers with 5.8million

Manchester United may have lost their dominance over the Premier League but they are top of the table when it comes to social media.

End-of-season statistics produced by Twitter show the Red Devils featured heavily both in key moments and overall.

A league table based on Twitter conversations throughout the campaign put United ahead of champions Chelsea, with Arsenal third and Liverpool fourth. Stoke came bottom.

However, Arsenal are the club with most followers (5.8million) ahead of Chelsea (5.6m) and United (5.1m)

The moment which generated the largest single spike was Juan Mata's bicycle kick in United's 2-1 win at Liverpool on March 22 - a result which had a pivotal bearing on the race for the final Champions League qualifying spot.

Second was United striker Robin van Persie's last-minute equaliser against Chelsea in October - with Didier Drogba's opener in that match the third-largest single spike.

United's win at Liverpool was the most-tweeted-about match - Steven Gerrard seeing red as a substitute - with their 3-0 victory over their arch-rivals in December next.

United in fact featured in the top four most-tweeted matches - against Manchester City in April and Chelsea in October the others - with Chelsea's 2-0 win in the London derby at home to Arsenal taking fifth place.

However, Louis van Gaal, despite some entertaining moments in his maiden season at Old Trafford, came second to Chelsea's Jose Mourinho - who else - in the list of most-discussed managers.

The most talked about referee was Michael Oliver.

United also had three players in Twitter's Dream Team, based on mentions.

Prolific Twitterati Rio Ferdinand and Joey Barton complete the side, despite QPR's relegation.
