Manchester United's final league game has been abandoned

Manchester United's final Premier League
game against Bournemouth has been
abandoned after a suspect package was found
in one of the stands at Old Trafford.
Supporters in both the Stretford End and the
Sir Alex Ferguson stand were evacuated
around 30 minutes before kick off, with a
delay of at least 45 minutes initially expected.
Television pictures showed police with a sniffer
dog walking through the stands, and shortly
afterwards it was announced that the game
had been abandoned. No information has been
given as to when, or if, the game will be
rescheduled.
A statement issued by United read: "Due to
the discovery of a suspect package in the
North-West Quadrant of the Old Trafford
ground, the match against Bournemouth has
been abandoned today on police advice.
"People in the stadium were asked to remain in
their seats while the forecourt was cleared of
fans already evacuated from the stadium.
"Further announcements will be made as soon
as possible."
Fans in the other stands were not asked to
leave, an announcement telling them to remain
calm and in their seats.

Manchester United needed to beat
Bournemouth, and hope Manchester City lost
at Swansea, to finish in the top four and
qualify for the Champions League next season.
City's game at the Liberty Stadium went
ahead as planned.
