Manchester, UK: Half of the stands at Manchester United's Old Trafford were evacuated because of a suspicious package Sunday just ahead of their final Premier League game of the season against Bournemouth.

Tens of thousands of supporters were led from their seats approximately 20 minutes before the scheduled 3:00pm (1400 GMT) kick-off.
