      But their 11am flight was cancelled due to bad weather and technical problems.
      That means the squad has had to resort to a coach to travel the 106 miles to St James’ Park just hours before their 8pm kick-off.
      The journey is expected to take three hours if there is no further disruption from traffic or bad weather.
      The Met Office is predicting freezing temperatures in Newcastle this evening, which could dip to -1 Celsius.

      Erik ten Hag and Rasmus Hojlund already appeared to be feeling the cold as they boarded the coach ahead of their trip north.
      United will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing 3-3 draw with Galatasaray in mid-week which left them on the brink of Champions League elimination.

      However United are the in-form team in the Premier League over the last five matches with four wins and one defeat.
      They have won three on the bounce without conceding and thrashed Everton away from home last time out.

      But they did dominate Chelsea last week with a 4-1 win at St James’ Park and have won six out of seven games on their home turf.

      It turns out the team’s chartered jet had suffered a technical fault and Air Nostrum chose to put them on a different flight at the expense of everyday people.
      They were not given alternative travel arrangements and will instead receive compensation.
      One passenger fumed on social media, writing: “We are still at the airport with no word about the theft of the plane by Sevilla.”
      The airline later released a statement that read: “Air Nostrum deeply regrets the disadvantage suffered by the passengers on flight IB8869 from Vigo to Madrid, which is solely due to an unfortunate error on the part of the airline.
