Police dismantled a fake bomb inside Old Trafford on an unnerving final day of the Premier League season that forced the abandonment of Manchester United's game against Bournemouth before kickoff. The league is yet to say when the 380th and final game of an unpredictable season will now be played but FA Cup finalist United seems unable to qualify for the Champions League after crosstown rival Manchester City effectively secured fourth place on Sunday. Two stands in United's 75,000-capacity stadium in northern England were initially evacuated before the scheduled 3 p.m. kickoff time.
