Manchester United meets Atlético in the Champions League in Madrid on Wednesday (February 23), with the “Red Devils” having a problem with the transfer to the Spanish capital.
This is due to what is happening in Ukraine as Manchester United is cooperating with The Russian airline Aeroflot declared a blockade.
The British mission’s planned flight was canceled as both sides decided not to take any chances following Putin’s speech and the recognition of Donetsk and Lugansk as independent territories.
Therefore, the “red devils” preferred to avoid the risk and charter boats from England to transport them safely to Madrid.
