NI Man United fans devastated after being denied entry to Old Trafford over 'innocent mistake'

A father and son from Northern Ireland have been left devastated after travelling to Manchester United for a football game only to be denied entry before kick-off.

Michael Mulholland and his 18-year-old son Jack, who have been lifelong fans of the club, made the 300-mile journey by ferry and coach to the Premier League fixture against Aston Villa on Sunday, April 30.

The tickets were purchased by Michael's wife as a Christmas present for the father and son to attend the game as part of a package deal.
