European soccer body UEFA said it had agreed to a request
from United to cancel Tuesday's conference, which was due to be
held at the Friends Arena, the venue for Wednesday's match
against Dutch side Ajax Amsterdam.
UEFA said the team would practice at their own ground on Tuesday
as planned before flying to Sweden. A team walk at the stadium
in the evening would go ahead.
At least 22 people were killed and 59 were wounded when the
suicide bomber struck as thousands of fans streamed out of a
concert by U.S. singer Ariana Grande in Manchester on Monday
night.
