Manchester United refuse to pay Bournemouth fans compensation for last season's abandoned Premier League fixture at Old Trafford

Manchester United will not pay compensation to fans of Bournemouth following last year's abandoned match at Old Trafford.

Cherries supporters demanded some form of recompense after many made a 500-mile round trip only for the May Premier League clash to be called off thanks to a staggering security blunder when a dummy bomb was left in a stadium toilet by mistake.

At the time, United refunded tickets and offered free entry to the rescheduled match two days later.
