The former head of the Flying Squad, John O鈥機onnor, has praised the response of the police after Old Trafford had to be evacuated ahead of the game v Bournemouth following the discovery of a suspect package.

A controlled explosion was carried out after two stands - the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand and the Stretford End - were evacuated before the final game of the season and sniffer dogs brought in.

Kick-off, due at 15:00 BST, was delayed and shortly afterwards the match was abandoned on police advice.

A bomb disposal team carried out the explosion at about 16:30 BST.

鈥淚t shows the contingency plans work,鈥� O鈥機onnor said.

鈥淭he police are likely to err on the side of caution and I don鈥檛 blame them.

鈥淭hey鈥檙e responding in a way which was admirable,鈥� he added.
