Fitting end to United's sorry season

Manchester United's final game of the Premier League season against Bournemouth on Sunday was called off following a security alert at Old Trafford, as Arsenal snatched second place in the standings from Tottenham Hotspur.

What should have been a celebratory final weekend of the league season was overshadowed as bomb disposal experts carried out a controlled explosion of a suspicious package at Old Trafford that police later revealed was a dummy left over from a midweek training exercise.

The Stretford End and Sir Alex Ferguson Stand were evacuated before the rest of United's 75,600 capacity ground was cleared, with the match called off 20 minutes before kickoff.
