Terrified residents reported a blast outside The Lounge in Pendleton in the early hours of September 12.

Cops immediately raced to the scene after people in the area reported their homes shaking from the powerful explosion.

It was initially thought to have been caused by yobs throwing fireworks, but police confirmed today a crude device had actually been planted.

It damaged shutters, windows, a canopy and the road, but nobody was injured due to the time the blast happened.

A source said: "It was packed full of nails and screws and forensics have been pulling them all out of the woodwork."

Terrified residents took to social media after the explosions rang out earlier this week.

One Twitter user wrote: "Does anyone know what that bang explosion sound was in Manchester?"

Another said: "Live in Salford 5 minutes from the arena heard the explosion, at first thought it was fireworks".

It comes just months after the devastating Manchester Arena terror attack in May.

A total of 22 people died when suicide bomber Salman Abedi blew himself up inside the foyer of the arena after an Ariana Grande concert.

Greater Manchester Police said it was aware of the explosion and investigating.
