As of Thursday the 24th, the British government applied a set of sanctions against Moscow, including suspension of access to British airspace.
Moscow has accordingly suspended the overflight of all UK-related aircraft, including transit flights.
“We share the concern of our fans around the world”confirmed the club, adding that “our thoughts are with the people affected”.
Aeroflot was the official sponsor of the Manchester United since 2013 and the team frequently traveled on aircraft of the Russian company for their transfers in Europe.
However, for their transfer to Madrid to face Atlético on Wednesday in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, the team used a plane owned by the charter company Titan Airways.
The contract between the squadron and the Russian flag carrier would run until 2023.
On the website of Aeroflot keeps popping up Manchester United in the list of their sponsorship deals.
