MANCHESTER UNITED’S pre-match preparations have been thrown into chaos after the players’ coach arrived at Watford just an hour before the game.
This is despite the players and coaching staff flying down to London on Saturday.
Press association reporter Simon Peach uploaded a photo of the team bus reversing into the ground, with swathes of fans blocking its entry.
The game at Vicarage Road is scheduled to kick off at 2pm.
Even Chelsea’s team bus has arrived for their game at near-neighbours Chelsea – that kick-off isn’t until 4.30pm.
And of course it’s not the first time United have been caught in traffic for a game.
Back in 2018 previous boss Jose Mourinho was absolutely fuming after the team bus arrived late for a European game against Juventus.
Football fans were quick to make some gags at United’s expense.
Josh Jennings wrote: “We’ve actually turned up for an away game.”
Carwyn Williams posted to Twitter: “Ironic. The team has been in reverse all season.”
Others were left questioning just how far away from Watford the squad were staying.
