Manchester United stars face disruption as fire alarm goes off at Wolverhampton hotel
Manchester United stars faced disruption before the game against Wolves when the fire alarm went off at their hotel.
The Premier League giants were staying at the Mount Hotel in Tettenhall and the alarm sounded just hours before their 2-1 defeat at Molineux on Tuesday.
The likes of Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku and David De Gea were among the travelling party.
Bosses at the four-star Mount Hotel said the fire alarm went off for no more than six seconds and admitted the disruption "wasn't ideal".
However, they said they felt the incident just before 3.30pm "didn't disrupt their stay overall".
Wolves saw off United at Molineux for the second time in a fortnight.

The Mount said thorough safety checks were carried out after the alarm went off.
A statement from the hotel said: "Man Utd did stay with us and commented on departure how well everything had gone again.
"However, at 3.29pm on Tuesday, the alarm was activated and immediately silenced while the fire marshals completed a thorough investigation.
"It was identified that there was no threat and as such the alarm was reset to comply with health and safety law.
"While we appreciate that the alarm sounding wasn’t ideal and was unforeseen we feel that with the timing of the alarm combined with their strict schedule this didn’t disrupt their stay overall.
"We have had the pleasure of looking after many guests and celebrities throughout the course of the year with no other incidences recorded and take our duty of care seriously towards both guests and staff safety.
“Of course this was not intentional or malicious and we liaised with the club security and other senior members apologising for any inconvenience caused however health and safety is paramount."
