Manchester City have offered affected Thomas Cook employees free tickets to a Champions League group game of their choosing following the collapse of the travel group.

Earlier in the month, Thomas Cook confirmed all their UK companies had ceased trading meaning flights and holidays provided were cancelled.

The firm's closing also meant that 9,000 employees would be out of work. Manchester Airport are hosting a job fair on October 3 for the thousands of workers and supply chain employees that have been affected.

Thomas Cook have had a long-standing relationship with City, sponsoring the club's shirt from 2003-2009.

Therefore, City are offering affected employees two free tickets to any Champions League group stage fixture, subject to availability.

Manchester City face Serie A side Atalanta at home on Tuesday, October 22 before taking on Shakhtar Donetsk at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, November 26.

As per the official Manchester City website:

"To claim the free tickets, please visit the Etihad Stadium Ticket Office above the City Store, open Monday to Friday 9am to 5:30pm, with the exception of Thursday when we will open from 10am.

"Please note that proof of employment with Thomas Cook will be required to claim tickets."
