Manchester City footballers flew 22 Instagram models out to Cheshire for a 'Bunga Bunga' style party at a luxury hotel and spa resort.

The women were flown over to Manchester on Sunday before checking into the £150-a-night Mere Golf Resort in Knutsford prior to the team's match against Aston Villa that afternoon.

The team beat Villa 6-1 and it was thought the party had occurred with the permission of manager Pep Guardiola.

Fixers close to the club are believed to have organised the team bonding night, but it was not clear if Guardiola had been aware that the models were also in attendance.

Many of the models took to Instagram to document their Cheshire escape with videos in the spa and other photos that showed them relaxing, dressed in glamorous clothing.

Speaking to the Sun, a source said it had been a delayed Christmas party for the players and that a liaison officer for the club had spent months organising the soirée.

'I think their Wags will be surprised to hear these women were invited, but that they weren't'.

The source also added that they could have been members of the Manchester City supporters' club in Milan.

'Either way, they are very beautiful and looked like they had a really fun time. I assume the players did too.'

One of the models was Amira Paula, who posted to Instagram during her stay. Not one to travel alone, the model checked in with a friend before being picked up by a driver who took them to the airport.

Another Instagram star, Marta Tejada, had also posted videos of her popping champagne bottles.

Other pictures showed Chiara Battola in the bath, while other bikini clad women were also present.

The Sun also reported that some of the group has stayed an extra night, taking the opportunity to see some of Manchester's night life.

A spokesperson for the club was unable to be reached by MailOnline, but a source at the club denied claims that the players had partied with the women.

One Italian website claimed the women had been flown over to 'entertain' the footballers at the 81 room venue in one of Cheshire's most prestigious areas.
