Manchester United's scheduled flight to Newcastle United encountered an unexpected hurdle as adverse weather conditions led to the cancellation of their travel plans.
Erik ten Hag's squad, preparing for their anticipated clash at St James' Park, faced the setback when their intended flight departing from Manchester Airport at 11 am on Saturday morning was abruptly called off due to inclement weather and technical issues.
The inconvenience struck as the players arrived at the airport to drop off their vehicles at 10 am, only to be informed of the flight's cancellation, causing a change of plans for the team's journey.
Subsequently, the Manchester United squad will embark on an approximately three-hour coach journey to reach their destination, St James' Park, where the 9 pm GMT kick-off is scheduled. This alternative method contrasts sharply with the originally intended 30-minute flight duration.
This travel disturbance arrives on the heels of Manchester United seeking to bounce back from the disappointment of a 3-3 draw against Galatasaray in Istanbul on Wednesday.
Despite this setback, their performance in the Premier League remains robust, with five victories secured from their last six matches, ensuring their continued contention in the top tier of English football.
