The Red Devils have reportedly had to change travel plans at the last minute after their flight was cancelled this morning.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Manchester Evening News, United were due to board a flight at Manchester Airport at 11am this morning.<\/p>\n<p>However, they were informed that it had been cancelled due to adverse weather conditions and technical difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>The report claims United now face a three-hour coach journey to the north-east ahead of tonight&#8217;s crunch Premier League clash against the Magpies.<\/p>\n<p>Kick-off is scheduled for 8pm at St James&#8217; Park, so there is plenty of time for Erik ten Hag, his squad and his staff to reach Tyneside.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s far from ideal preparation for an already tough test against Eddie Howe&#8217;s side, who have a formidable record on home turf this season.<\/p>\n<p>The turn of events will no doubt irritate Ten Hag, who also faced uncertainty over Wednesday&#8217;s Champions League game against Galatasaray due to heavy rainfall in Istanbul.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag opens door for January exit after honest admission[PRESSER] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Man-Utd-s-flight-to-Newcastle-has-been-cancelled-5096080.jpg?r=1701517608549\"><\/p>\n<p>The heavens opened in the Turkish capital on the day of the clash and heavily impacted play during United&#8217;s 1-0 UEFA Youth League defeat in the early afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>UEFA officials spent plenty of time on the pitch testing how the ball bounced and moved along the drenched surface less than a couple of hours before kick-off.<\/p>\n<p>But the Group A meeting went ahead as planned, during which United squandered 2-0 and 3-1 leads to draw 3-3 and remain rock bottom of Group A.<\/p>\n<p>United&#8217;s recent Premier League form is wildly different from their fortunes in Europe, winning five of their last six such games.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> DON&#8217;T MISS <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Transfer news LIVE as Man Utd race for \u00a315m bargain and Arsenal eye new Haaland[BLOG] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag speaks out on possibility of dropping Andre Onana[QUOTES] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Predicted Man Utd XI vs Newcastle as Marcus Rashford at risk of surprise snub[TEAM NEWS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Man-Utd-are-eyeing-their-sixth-win-in-seven-Premier-League-games-at-Newcastle-5096090.jpg?r=1701517608681\"><\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag&#8217;s side overcame a hostile Goodison Park last time out to cruise to a 3-0 victory against Everton, sending them just six points behind leaders Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>But an away trip to Newcastle is an entirely different proposition.
