Manchester United have actually changed their flight to Madrid for their Champions League clash with Atletico at the last minute.

The Premier League club normally fly with Russian airline company Aeroflot for their European video games under an industrial contract.

Tuesday’s flight which was set to take off at 4pm, was cancelled amid growing tensions in between Russia and Ukraine.

United rather flew with UK-based charter airline company Titan Airways and will land in Madrid on Tuesday night.

The Athletic reports that the decision to cancel the flight was shared in between Manchester United and Aeroflot.

Russia had actually sent out soldiers into 2 rebel-held locations of Ukraine in a “peacekeeping mission”.
