Sir Alex Ferguson Among Fans Kept in Stadium Due to Wolfsburg Security Threat

Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was one of many high-profile attendees kept behind at the Volkswagen Arena on Tuesday night, as a suspicious package was discovered in the carpark following the Red Devils’ Champions League clash with Wolfsburg.

As reported by Joe Bernstein of the MailOnline, Ferguson, as well as Sir Bobby Charlton and David Gill, were not allowed to return to their vehicles for an hour after the match after an unclaimed item was located, prompting a full investigation from the police. It was 11:30 p.m. local time when they were given the go-ahead to leave.
