Jose Mourinho relocates Manchester United team to new hotel for Juventus Champions League clash to avoid traffic delays
MANCHESTER UNITED have changed their team hotel on the eve of Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Juventus.
The Red Devils were forced to request a delayed kick-off against Valencia after their team bus was delayed by 45 minutes due to bad traffic in the city centre.
United were charged by Uefa over their late arrival and late kick-off.
And Mourinho has ensured it won’t happen again after switching from the Lowry Hotel to the Hilton by Old Trafford cricket ground.
The Special One has used the Lowry as his own base while making it United’s starting point before home games at the Theatre of Dreams.
But after the fiasco against Valencia, the Red Devils will now operate out of the Hilton, which is much closer to Old Trafford than the Lowry is.
