Old Trafford was fully evacuated shortly after 3pm on Sunday afternoon after a steward discovered a suspicious item in the north- west section of the ground.
Bomb disposal experts carried out
controlled explosion at Old Trafford on
what is described as incredibly lifelike
explosive device...
In response to the initial security threat,
United evacuated both the Stretford End and the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand before 2:50pm. Shortly after 3pm, United, on the advice of the police, abandoned the game and ordered
a full evacuation of the stadium.
According to Greater Manchester Police, the device had accidentally been left by a private company following a training exercise involving explosive sniffer dogs held last Wednesday.
The Premier League has confirmed that the match will now hold on Tuesday May 17 by 8pm(GMT+1) with United due to face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final at Wembley next Saturday.
Following Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Swansea City, United can only reach next season's Champions League by beating Bournemouth by 19 clear goals which sounds impossible, but everything is possible in the game of football.
