MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United's home game against Bournemouth in the Premier League has been abandoned after a suspect package was found inside Old Trafford stadium.
Greater Manchester police said on its Twitter page Sunday that the match had been abandoned.
Two stands inside Old Trafford — The Sir Alex Ferguson Stand and the Stretford End — were evacuated about 30 minutes before the scheduled kickoff time of 3 p.m. local time (1400 GMT), with United saying "a suspect package was found in the North West Quadrant."
Fans in other stands initially had been allowed to stay inside the stadium.
