You'd also think a club the size of man U not to have this problem too , i.e., Rojo. At least we knew why Rose has not got on the plane, i.e., Di Maria.
They probably did collect the passports before the flight and Rose forgot to bring/lost his. I doubt if the club would ask for all passports a week beforehand, like they need all the details to book everyone on the flight.
It's an easily done thing. Footballers are adults. Sometimes adults make mistakes and lose their passports.
Edit: There is also a risk in everyone handing over their passports a few days beforehand. They are personal items. The person charged with looking after them could:
Lose the lot
Share details of them with the media
etc., etc.

Yeah you need a passport still, there's still issues with certain countries not liking one another.
No, but you need one to get back in.
It takes a while to replace lost passports, you have to have an interview I think. Anyway, the club may be able to do it a bit faster. Seeing as it's only Europe they may issue an emergency travel document in time.
They are old enough to take care of it by themselves...
Germany and all the countries you would need to travel through to get there, if you were doing it that way, are classified as border free Schengen areas. You don't need a passport to go through the borders.
The only European countries you need to show a passport/Id card to travel to and from are Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Ireland, Romania and the United Kingdom.
In theory you could travel by euro tunnel without a passport, if you had an ID card. Seeing as we don't do them and A driving licence is not accepted - but it is for validating your ID in the UK? - you need a passport as it is the only accepted form of ID.
Such is the freedom of movement for UK citizens to other EU nations.

Clearly not.
Yeah but those are stats, and stats are bollocks....ain't they?So underrated ...
I just renewed my passport, and it took a week. I did it by post, and the week includes the time in the post ... they sent the documents back with DHL. So it is very fast as long as the case doesn't have any complications. Renewing a lost passport where the details are already in the system should be very simple.
You can get it done in a day on FastTrack I'd have thought, got mine renewed in a day. Not sure if that goes for lost ones.
Could you imagine if this was in a key Europa League game.

There is a bigger reason for Rose missing the trip than just "he forgot his passport"
Club micro manage the players, there is no way this would have happened.
Illuminati aka Rose off to City
Expecting a Delph style double dummy.
Cheers Danny!! This has deflected their attention away from me signing players again!! Even more so than that West Brom player who didn't turn his head for anthem!!!
Yep, also its possible to have two passports so the club could have one and he could.
Interesting, but I've had my passport checked at every single trip I've done, which includes countries such as Germany, Italy, Hungary and Greece... Should I not have had my passport checked? I'm not arguing with you, just curious as to why I had mine checked (and seemingly everyone else I was with).
If you were travelling from the UK to these places, then yes you should have your passport checked. But for example if you fly from Spain to Italy or drive from Germany to France, you will not have your passport checked.
The UK is not in the Schengen arrangement. There are no border controls at all between Schengen countries.
I think the UK and Ireland are the only EU countries outside Schengen. Could be wrong about that though.

@ :30, it sure looks like there is someone handing the players their passports as they are going to the bus that is taking the team to the airport. If the club holds the passports, how did he lose it?
