Manchester United have sacked their Danish scout Torben Aakjaer.
Aakjaer has lost his job over Facebook posts which were deemed offensive.
He had been with United since 2011.
A United spokesperson is quoted by pl.de: "The club has received evidence from the Guardian, and has therefore launched an investigation. It has led to cooperation with Mr. Aakjær being suspended."
The club has since confirmed Aakjaer's dismissal.
Before joining United, Aakjaer had spent four years with Hamburg SV.
