Manchester United - David Moyes and his squad suffered a mid-air scare in Germany on the way to the Champions League clash on tuesday with Bayer Leverkusen when their plane had to abort its landing at Cologne airport.
United’s chartered plane was just 400 metres from touching down at Cologne airport when the pilot reacted rapidly after realising another aircraft was already on the runway.
As the Barclays Premier League club’s players were thrown back in their seats, the Monarch aircraft had to regain height quickly to avoid any chance of a collision.
The whole United squad, including players, manager David Moyes, and all the backroom staff, were all on board.
United defender Rio Ferdinand tweeted on touchdown: ‘Landed in Germany... just... I’ve only just recovered after that choppy landing.’
Another passenger called the experience 'frightening'.
It is understood that the pilot emerged from the flight deck after the incident to apologise to the United party and explain that they had not been in any danger.
Sir Bobby Charlton, who was present in the Munch air disaster in 1958, and Sir Alex Ferguson were not on board.
