Manchester United were not normally planning to fly to Leicester but had to change their plans due to “traffic jams” on the M6.
According to the British newspaper The Sun, the flight lasted just 10 minutes, just enough time for the flight attendants to explain the safety regulations.
The choice of United, which partnered with the Renewable Energy Group in July, has been widely criticized.
At the BBC, the Premier League’s number 4 defends itself: it has already reduced its annual CO2 emissions by 2,700 tons since 2008 and uses only green energy for its buildings and facilities.
