MANCHESTER UNITED were hit with travel chaos ahead of their trip to play Tottenham.
United planned on taking a train to the capital on Saturday but were forced into travelling on a coach instead.

According to the Daily Mail, the train lines were effected by a fault with the signalling system between Rugby and Milton Keynes.
Multiple services were either cancelled or severely delayed – meaning United instead took the coach.
A train from Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston usually takes around two and a half hours if running on time.
But the same journey by coach can take over four hours.
Ruben Amorim and his side were pictured boarding a coach – which did not appear to be the usual luxury one Premier League teams travel on.
Matthijs de Ligt had a coffee in hand as he boarded the coach while Noussair Mazraoui and Joshua Zirkzee were also pictured.
United travel to North London – sitting 14th in the league with Spurs one place below – with injury problems too.
Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Jonny Evans, Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer are all ruled out.
Midfielder trio Mainoo, Ugarte and Collyer all suffered knocks in training this week – leaving Amorim short of options.
So Casemiro and Christian Eriksen – formerly of Tottenham – could be brought back into the squad.
That is despite the pair only playing a combined 176 minutes since starting alongside each other in the 2-0 loss to Newcastle on December 30.
Forward Amad Diallo also suffered an ankle ligament injury which could leave him out for the rest of the season.
