Man United took a 25-minute trip to Gatwick to prepare for their game against Brighton this weekend.

The Red Devils are going to the South Coast team for their second Premier League game of the season.

On the other hand, Erik ten Hag’s team took a private jet to get to the game instead of taking the train or driving in the heavy Bank Holiday traffic like most of their fans.

The Manchester United players arrived at Manchester Airport on Friday afternoon to catch their quick trip to Gatwick, which should take less than 30 minutes.

It is exactly 176.01 air miles between the two transportation hubs.

The team will likely take a bus or train for the last 30 miles of their trip before their Saturday game at the Amex at 12:30.

The team was seen leaving their cars at Manchester Airport and going to a special terminal to wait for their flight.

Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire were two of the stars shown.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, the coach of the first team, was also with the players when they got there.

Scott McTominay was also caught on the phone, even though there is still a lot of talk about his future.

Before Sander Berge arrived at Craven Cottage, the player was linked with a move to Fulham. However, that move may not happen now.

The short flight to an away game is something United has done before.

In 2021, the club got in trouble for taking a TEN-MINUTE jet to get to Leicester.

That time, the club said it was okay because of traffic on the M6.

After the M6 was suddenly closed on Friday, United chose the air route.

The manager, Ten Hag, said that he expects his team to get better and that they worked on fixing problems this week.

He told MUTV, “We need to get better, and there are things that should be better.”

“The game got good reviews, and we fixed some issues.

“We worked all week on those problems and found ways to solve them while also focusing on what we did well.” To build on those skills even more.

“Having the right team spirit is the most important thing.” It’s not about 11 players when I talk about the team.

“Be ready, we need 16 players. So let’s pick the team. Out of those 20, we need 16 to do the job and win the game.

The first game of the Premier League season went well for the Red Devils.

They beat Fulham 1-0 at Old Trafford thanks to a goal from Joshua Zirkzee, who they signed in the summer.

The Seagulls will be their next test at the Amex Stadium.

In their first game of the season, Fabian Hurzeler’s team beat Everton 3-0.
