Bomb disposal experts destroyed the 'suspect package'
in a controlled explosion but police have since
confirmed that the item 'wasn’t viable'Greater
Manchester Police has confirmed that the suspect
package which forced Manchester United's Premier
League match against Bournemouth to be abandoned
was a hoax.
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.
Goal understands that the item, which was found in the
toilets of an executive suite, looked similar to a pipe
bomb.

Bomb disposal experts were called to Old Trafford to
destroy the item in a controlled explosion.
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.
The Premier League has confirmed that the match will be
rescheduled ‘as soon as practically possible’, 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
