Was just about to post this, hopefully just a hoax and it can be sorted! Or somebody has just left their backpack.
Is the Man Utd team bus actually there yet anyway?
Must be quite bad if it is fully abandoned for today and not just delated?

It's Rooneys secret stash of KFC.
Better same than sorry with these sort of things. Guess they'll try and play it in the week now. They won't want to leave it too long. Hopefully something can be sorted out for the Bournemouth fans who travelled today.

Was watching a documentary on the tube the other day and when someone reports a suspicious package a member of staff goes and checks it out. So if they've got to the stage of evacuating and then calling the match off there has to be a genuine concern.

If it's legit it's got IRA wrote all over it after they raised their threat level in the week you don't tend to find an isis package as they wear them
Don't think its been confirmed either way, but they were clearly worried enough that they were taking no chances with it. They are continuing to call it a suspect package still.
Yes being described now as an incredibly lifelike explosion device, but not actually a bomb. Basically a dummy explosive
I'm sure years ago at HR there'd been reports of a bomb and they asked everyone to look under their seats!

Few years back West Midlands police left a dummy device inside a box at wolves ground after an exercise on the Thursday been as they have been doing very public terror threat drills in the Trafford centre this week it's pretty likely this could be a police device that they have left there after a drill at Old Trafford
are you saying this package was left there by the police and as a consequence of its discovery they cancelled the game?
If it was left by the police wouldn't they realise as soon as someone reported it?
So in the space of a couple of hours you have mentioned that it is either IRA, and now "pretty likely" the Police? Really?
Talk about making assumptions without foundation!
Absolutely!
If I were the FA id be re-arranging the fixture and playing it behind closed doors with United refunding at the ticket money back to the fans, just incase!
Lucky it is meaningless game, imagine if it wasn't and Sunderland were involved they would still be talking about it in 50 years time.
though they seem keen to sweep the fact that earlier in the season they played a self confessed paedophile under the carpet.

Surely be massive consequences, wouldn't be surprised if Manchester United and the FA take legal action against the private company who fucked up.
