Manchester United's final Premier League game with Bournemouth has been abandoned after a security alert.

Thousands of United fans were evacuated from Old Trafford ahead of kickoff after a suspect package was found in the North-West quadrant of the stadium.

A code red security alert was announced over the public address system, with the Stretford End and Sir Alex Ferguson Stand evacuated first, although fans initially remained in the rest of the ground.

Greater Manchester Police have warned people to avoid the area around Old Trafford as they try to move around 75,000 to safety.

Police with sniffer dogs are inspecting the stadium for any sign of a suspect device.
