I saw this post from a famous football influencer on X, I know most of us know him and his information is legit.
Manchester United has failed to provide the necessary fuel involved to transport their player on a 1hr trip to Paris for the Ballon Dor ceremony. Do you think they can't afford the liters of fuel, or their reasons are different?
They are known to be the richest club in the EPL, so I don't know why they are pleading for Manchester City to support them by accommodating their players in the flight.
I think the management of Manchester United don't prioritize the event that's all. To them it's not worth it that's why you are seeing this sort of thing happening. And it is very shameful for Manchester United to act this way. This shows that the Manchester United as a club don't have any plans of sending delegation to the event. It shows lack of support for their own players. These are moments to encourage their players to work harder but they are making it look like they don't care about the ceremony. United have the money but they don't just care. How do they expect their player to be comfortable inside Manchester City plane?
