A big Premier League game got delayed because Manchester United’s bus was stuck for 2 hours
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Manchester United isn’t just one of the most popular clubs in the world, they’re one of the biggest sports teams in the history of human existence -- which is why it’s hilarious when an entire organization can’t time a trip correctly.
The trip from the part of London where United was staying to White Hart Lane took a couple of hours. A bus trip from Manchester to White Hart Lane wouldn’t take much longer.
UPDATE: Kick-off is now delayed until at least 4.30pm.

Should an organization as large as Manchester United have been able to accurately know how long it takes to get from Point A to Point B while factoring in traffic and road work? Yes, but they didn’t, and the Internet had jokes.
Louis van Gaal says Man United's journey to White Hart Lane is a process and fans should not expect immediate results.

United keener than ever to hire a manager who can successfully park the bus in time at a ground ...

Some took a more hard-line approach.
United should be fined or docked points for not getting to a game on time. Who knew London was busy?

At least Manchester United got a warm reception upon arriving to White Hart Lane.
An hour late, we have a Man United bus. #thfc #mufc pic.twitter.com/SpZuZRlfBA
