AhlulBayt News Agency -Manchester United's final-day clash with Bournemouth has been postponed after Old Trafford was evacuated due to a code red security alert.
The Premier League game was scheduled to kick-off at 3pm and had been pushed back to 3.45pm.
But now officials have announced that the match has been called off.
A suspect package was identified in the north-west corner of the ground, according to reports.
Journalists at the match have said that a bomb squad had been called for.
It is believed ordnance experts are needed to inspect a 'mobile phone device' and carry out a controlled explosion.
Police and sniffer dogs were in the ground, which has an almost 76,000 capacity, after they were told about the package.
Stewards ushered around 20,000 from The Sir Alex Ferguson Stand and the Stretford End when the warning was announced around 30 minutes before kick off.
At around 3.20pm the remaining fans from all the stands began to filter out of the ground - with the stadium's PA system informing supporters of the latest information.
Police are asking people to avoid the area if possible as they continue their investigation.
GMP Traffic posted on Twitter: 'MUFC (old Trafford) game has been abandoned, Fans are leaving the ground. Please avoid the area if possible.'
AFC Bournemouth tweeted that the match had been 'abandoned due to safety fears at Old Trafford'.
Officials are apparently considering playing the match behind closed doors tomorrow.
Bournemouth fan Steve Graham, 28, told MailOnline there was confusion in the away stand with supporters who travelled hundreds of miles to the game not told the match had been abandoned.
He said: 'We've heard nothing official, we've just been told to stay calm and remain in our seats over the tannoy about 30 times.
'There's stuff going around the fans but it's what people have picked up themselves, we've heard rumours of a bomb and that the game is going to be called off.'
Mr Graham, a part-time referee of Southampton, added: 'The teams went off earlier than normal but the first we knew of anything going on was about 2.45pm when fans started getting evacuated.
'But we had no clue what was going on. I just want to go home now. The fans have been great though, we haven't been nervous, we've just kept singing our songs and sticking together.
'It's a shame having travelled all this way. We're going to have to come all the way back, and who knows when that will be?'
All other games on the final day of the season, including Manchester City's meeting with Swansea, started as normal.
