A Middlesbrough supporter was last night arrested in the Old Trafford area after leaving his 11-year-old son at hotel while he celebrated his side’s FA Cup victory against Manchester United.
The arrest was confirmed in a tweet from Greater Manchester Police (GMP), who said the force took care of the child while an ‘unhappy mum’ was on her way down to collect the boy.
The force’s GMP Stretford account, which covers the Old Trafford area, said the Middlesbrough fan left his child to go out for victory drinks in the town following Friday night’s win.
