Man Utd fan who travelled from Sierra Leone for Bournemouth game lands FA Cup final ticket

A Manchester United fan who travelled from Sierra Leone to watch the game against Bournemouth only for the match to be abandoned has landed a ticket to this weekend’s FA cup final.

The man, Moses Momodukamara, was due to attend his first ever game at Old Trafford only for Sunday’s final Premier League game of the season to be abandoned when a suspect package was found in the ground.

It then emerged that the device, which was destroyed by a controlled explosion, had actually been left at the ground in error after a training exercise conducted by a private company last week.
