Greater Manchester police said on its Twitter page Sunday that the match had been abandoned.

Two stands inside Old Trafford - The Sir Alex Ferguson Stand and the Stretford End - were evacuated about 30 minutes before the scheduled kickoff time of 3 p.m. local time (1400 GMT), with United saying "a suspect package was found in the North West Quadrant."

Fans in other stands initially had been allowed to stay inside the stadium.

The Brazil Olympics are doomed. I fear for the safety of participants and attendees alike.

It was apparently a cell phone device connected to some ‘pipes’, and they blew it up with a controlled explosion. This seems similar to the planned Paris attack at PSG’s stadium. I'm sure the police were concerned that this device was just one part of a coordinated attack in and outside the stadium. Maybe nothing, but maybe disaster averted.

And they still call it the 'intelligence community' I don't think so.
