Manchester United made the 100-mile (160-kilometer) trip from Manchester to Leicester on Saturday by plane, which took about ten minutes..
The English team defended itself for having used this method of transport and said that it did so due to “operational circumstances”, since the road that connects both cities accumulated significant traffic jams due to a traffic accident.
Under normal circumstances, United would have traveled by bus, had there not been this problem on the road.
To defend their decision, United recalled the actions in favor of the environment that they carry out, such as the use of renewable energy in the club’s facilities and the program to reduce carbon dioxide emissions that they have carried out since 2008.
