Reports indicate that the team was robbed before departing from the airport, but no one could pinpoint exactly when the theft took place. Among the stolen items were the boots of several players, who then had to scramble for new pairs upon arrival in Norway:
"A bag containing the boots of some of our players disappeared during the flight to Bergen. We are investigating how this happened. We managed to source new boots of the right brand and size for all affected players," said a Manchester United representative.
Ultimately, this did not help the Manchester side secure a win, as they lost 1-0 after conceding in the 77th minute. The return leg will take place on September 18 in England.
