In a statement posted on Twitter, the Premier League said it would seek to rearrange the fixture “as soon as practically possible”. The Old Trafford stands were evacuated about 20 minutes before the scheduled kickoff at 1400 GMT. They are sixth in the Premier League table and would move above Southampton into fifth with a draw or victory against Bournemouth.
