Manchester United were involved in a mid-air plane scare when their pilot had to abort landing seconds before touching down in Germany, writes David McDonnell in Leverkusen. A plane on the tarmac at Cologne airport forced the pilot to abort landing just 400 metres above the runway and land at the second attempt. Over the intercom, the captain told those on board the Monarch Airbus 321 they could not land because the runway was blocked, but assured them they was no danger. The plane, carrying the Old Trafford giants squad, manager David Moyes, his coaching staff and club officials, eventually touched down safely at 5.30pm local time - 10 minutes behind schedule.
