Minutes before the game was scheduled to get under way on Sunday, fans at Old Trafford were ushered out of the ground after it was reported that there was a "suspicious package" left unattended in the stadium.
The match was eventually called off, and it was discovered that the device was, in fact, a dummy bomb that had been left behind after a training exercise.
"I am grateful to the Manchester United and Bournemouth supporters for their support and assistance today," assistant chief constable John O'Hare of the Greater Manchester Police told reporters, accorrding to BBC Sport.
"Following today's controlled explosion, we have since found out that the item was a training device which had accidentally been left by a private company following a training exercise involving explosive search dogs.
"Whilst this item did not turn out to be a viable explosive, on appearance this device was as real as could be, and the decision to evacuate the stadium was the right thing to do, until we could be sure that people were not at risk.
"Everyone remained calm, followed instructions, and worked with officers and stewards to ensure that a safe evacuation was quickly completed. Those present today were a credit to the football family and their actions should be recognised.
"I would also like to thank all those involved in the operation today for such a professional response, which includes police officers, stewards, MUFC staff, media representatives and commentators and the Bomb Disposal Team."
