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 US singer Ariana Grande in Manchester on Monday night.
In the wake of the attack, past and present United players tweeted their condolences.
