Manchester mayor slams Old Trafford ‘fiasco’
Manchester mayor and the elected police and crime commissioner Tony Lloyd has labelled the drama that saw Manchester United’s final Premier League fixture against AFC Bournemouth cancelled a “fiasco”. Lloyd called for a full inquiry into how a dummy bomb could have been left behind by a private security company following a training exercise at Old Trafford. The device was discovered in one of the stadium’s toilets just hours before kick-off on Sunday and prompted a full evacuation and abandonment of the final-day clash.
