Manchester City had to take an unexpected detour and land in Liverpool on Wednesday after high winds scuppered a safe landing in Manchester.

City were travelling back to England following their 5-0 last-16 first-leg win over Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League the night before.

However, as they descended over Manchester it had to circle over the city three times before it was diverted to Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

City took to Twitter on Wednesday to confirm that first-team squad landed safely.

'We can confirm the plane transporting the first team home from Lisbon has landed safely in Liverpool, after high winds forced a diversion from Manchester.'

Liverpool Airport also confirmed the news: 'Great to safely welcome Manchester City to the football capital of England this afternoon, after their flight was diverted from their home airport due to high winds.'

As reported this week, Manchester is currently dealing with Storm Dudley which hit the UK on Wednesday.

The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning from 3pm on Wednesday until 6am on Thursday.

They also warned that road and rail services may be affected due to the strong winds, with longer journey times and cancellations possible.
