Manchester United has been forced to push back a press conference after their flight to Portugal was delayed for over three hours.

The Red Devils are in Europa League action against Porto on Thursday as they look to earn their first continental win this season after a 1-1 draw with FC Twente.

However, United's preparation took a major hit when the flight, initially scheduled to take off at 3pm, did not depart until 6:10pm.

The reason for the significant delay was due to wet weather and fog.

United's delayed arrival in Portugal also forced the club to delay Erik ten Hag's press conference.
