UFFA OPEN DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS AGAINST MAN UTD
Manchester United set for UEFA charge?
UEFA have opened disciplinary proceedings against Manchester United following their Champions League clash with Valencia on Tuesday.
The Red Devils were due to kick off their game at 8pm but the clash had to be delayed by five minutes.
That was supposedly due to Jose Mourinho’s side arriving to the game late.
Jose Mourinho claimed after the game that it was down the refusal of a police escort.
“We left the hotel at six o’clock, hoping that 30 minutes would be enough,” Mourinho explained before the game.
“Which normally is but this time the police refused to do an escort so we come by ourselves. And we took from the Lowry Hotel, 75 minutes.
“And UEFA were nice, the referee was nice to allow us to start the game five minutes later because we at least need half an hour to be prepared but was not a problem with the club organisation.
“We anticipate everything that it could be dangerous, in the sense of arriving late but we were informed the police refused an escort.”
UEFA statement
UEFA have released a statement today revealing they have opened proceedings against Manchester United.
There is no mention as to whether they could be fined or what punishment they could serve.
Their statement, as quoted by the Mirror again, explained:
“UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Manchester United over the ‘late team arrival’ and ‘late kick-off’ for the Champions League match against Valencia.”
