Manchester United's flight from Melbourne to Perth was delayed due to a serious medical emergency involving a military plane.
United were about to take off from a private airfield on Wednesday following their victory over Crystal Palace at the MCG when the drama unfolded.
The military aircraft landed and blocked United's Boeing 747 on the tarmac while a critically ill man was taken off the plane.
There was a 45-minute delay before Erik ten Hag and his players could leave for Perth where they play a final tour game against Aston Villa at Optus Stadium on Saturday.
