Manchester United has apologised for a swastika-style logo published in their weekly email to fans, alongside the headline 'New Order', and an investigation is said to be underway at the Premier League club.

According to Sky News, the controversial graphic appeared on the 'United Uncovered' email and was immediately met with outrage from fans.

New Order is closely associated with Nazism after Adolf Hitler's call during World War II for a European New Order, the report said.

The club's head of media, David Sternberg, apologised on Twitter and said an internal investigation was underway into how the email was cleared for publication, the report added.

 

He said that the creative was completely inappropriate, and they apologize unreservedly and are taking appropriate internal action.

Senior members of the club have been shocked by the email, according to the report.
