Old Trafford 'bomb' scare was my fault, says security firm managing director Chris Reid

The boss of a security firm says he was responsible for the 'fake bomb' that caused Manchester United's clash with Bournemouth to be abandoned.

Chris Reid, managing director of Security Search Management & Solutions Ltd, said he had forgotten to remove a dummy bomb from one of Old Trafford's men's toilets after a training exercise on Wednesday.

Reid revealed the oversight occurred as he had seen a similar device already placed in his bag before he left the ground.

"This mistake is entirely mine. I have to take full responsibility for leaving a training item behind on Wednesday," said Reid, a retired Scotland Yard police officer.

Old Trafford had to be evacuated in the hour before United's final Premier League match of the season, with Bournemouth now having to travel back to Manchester for a rearranged match on Tuesday night.
