The boss of the firm that left fake bomb at Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium has apologised for making a "devastating mistake".

Chris Reid of Security Search Management & Solutions Ltd (SSMS) said he erroneously logged the item as found on Wednesday.

It led to the postponement of Manchester United's match against Bournemouth.

The club said the device could not have been detected by sniffer dogs.

More soon.
