The final day English Premier League match between Manchester United and Bournemouth at Old Trafford has been abandoned over a bomb threat.
According to a report monitored on the website of Manchester United, the match was abandoned due to the discovery of a suspect package in the North-West Quadrant of the Old Trafford ground.
Owing to this, the police advised against going ahead with the match.
The people in the stadium were asked to remain in their seats while the forecourt was cleared of fans already evacuated from the stadium.
The management of Manchester United said further announcements will be made as soon as possible on the match.
