If City win I'd say forget the rescheduling and just forfeit.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.
He'll put out a reserve and under 21 team.
Howard Nurse just posted the team lineups.
Really hope this isn't a sign to come in the future.
Poor guy!
Not realistic.Apart from the fact that everyone would have moaned that they would have been doing favours for Utd..once again
,Shambles... in the sense of things not working out for us. Calm down.
That's like the most irrational statement ever.
Anyway, good thing they found this thing if it turns out to be a bomb. feck me.
They wouldn't have wanted everybody trying to get out at once, else it would have been chaos. So they'll be doing the evacuation based on proximity to the package.
Have to think that if they are abandoning the match, the 'suspect package' actually is a serious thing and not just a random bag that somebody left and forgot.
Really we need to guarantee 5th place, cannot rely on winning the cup.
The match is abandoned or cancelled?
twitter said police experts were on the way, so they might not have investigated the package yet. Also, it'll be a small bomb, and it won't be dangerous for anyone in the opposite part of the stadium. twitter said they were walking around with sniffer dogs earlier too, so I'm sure they've gone through the parts of the stadium that are not evacuated too.
People always try lighten up a shitty situation, no one has been hurt and looks like the club and security have been on top form. Not a big deal to lighten the mood a bit.

When can we replay this? Midweek? Not ideal at all.
If it ends up being a false alarm, could the game be played tonight?
Agree.
Don't think the fa (and other associations) would want to play it after the cup as players have to join up with squads for the Euros
Infact I think we would have to release the players for the squads?
I do recall we played spurs after the fa cup final once (1991?) but I don't think there was an international competition that summer
Our players are soon going to have PTSD after the West Ham game and now this!
On a more serious note hopefully its just a precaution and nothing sinister.

Instead of going to Old Trafford and seeing no goals, he went to Old Trafford and...eh, saw no goals.
This is so fecked up, a fecking bomb inside a football ground. Amazing that some cnuts are joking about it in the thread btw, would have definitely been acting the same way if someone from the family was at the game.
What? That our matches are going to be called off on a regular basis?
What the feck are you on about?
That is odd, perhaps they believe the would be bomber is in there?
Huddersfield v Leeds was postponed last day last season and it was called as a 0-0 draw in the end. Can see the same thing happen here if it means nothing for the top 4?
It's unlikely to be a real bomb but authorities acted properly if in doubt. Shit end to a shit year either way.
I was saying the same thing - tongue in cheek - noone is going to disagree with safety first.
That is so unlucky.
Hopefully just a false alarm.
Posting this same reply over and over again won't make your original post any less dumb.
I think he means seeing more threats of a similar nature at major sporting events. Hopefully won't happen again though.
Alright alright. I just don't like spinning everything to draw parallel with our season.
Obviously the main concern is the safety of the people there, but it'd be pretty annoying if we had to play this midweek with the cup in mind.
Definitely the most entertaining first half at Old Trafford this season.
Not a chance.
There's better safe than sorry and then there's evacuating 70,000 people because someone left a bag on the floor while they went for a piss and forgot it. Got to be more suspicion to it that that surely.
Obviously hope otherwise, really don't need bombs showing up at packed football matches, it's just sick, but don't think they'd evacuate a stadium and cancel a match without good reason.
Don't really see a point in rearranging the match though.

I got 11/11 in the line ups
I demand the score be counted

Lineup points still stand though, right? I got everyone right today.
Edit: Oh, FFS.

100% GMP FA and United have done the right think match called off HOW THE THAT A SHAMBLES ?
