And it seems United will have the same problem getting to and from London on the weekend of February 15-18.
The tie will not be able to be played on the Friday or Saturday with Chelsea in Europa League action on Thursday February 14.
The Blues play Malmo in that competition meaning their clash with United will be on either on Sunday or on Monday evening.
There is already planned engineering works for the late night trains from London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly on the Monday night.

And there are generally fewer services on a Sunday too.
Some fans are already concerned about arrangements for the crunch FA Cup tie.
One tweeted: “Going for a Monday night! BBC no chance for the fans to get home.”
While another added: “Monday would be a f***ing nightmare.”
