Danish Reds defy Storm Otto to reach Old Trafford

Danish fan Oliver Lund had spent much of the last six months travelling around Asia, but when he returned to his homeland, his parents, Peter and Sanne, surprised him with a match ticket, plus hotel and flight bookings.

But little did he know that his epic travels were far from over.

When Oliver and his father got to the airport, all set for a few pleasant days in Manchester, they were kept waiting for hours, only to be eventually told that the flight had been cancelled due to Storm Otto.

Due to the weather conditions, there was no information on when the next flight might take off.
