Champions League – United squad in mid-air drama in Germany

Manchester United suffered a scare on their arrival in Germany when they had to abort their landing at Cologne airport.

    Their Monarch Airlines airbus had dropped to a height of 400 metres as it prepared to land, when the plane suddenly took off again.

    Press Association Sport understands a number of passengers expressed their concern and, while a stewardess initially said there had not been a problem, the captain later came onto the speakers to confirm he had been forced to abort the landing as there was another plane on the runway.

    United’s entire first-team squad and coaching staff were on board ahead of Wednesday evening’s Champions League fixture with Bayer Leverkusen.

    However, neither Sir Alex Ferguson nor Sir Bobby Charlton, who on Monday paid tribute to fellow Munich survivor Bill Foulkes following his death, were travelling, even though they are both due to attend the game at the BayArena.
