UEFA has told Manchester United Manager, Jose Mourinho to stop complaining about the condition of the playing turf at the Olimp-2 Stadium.
Manchester United will be up against the Bulgarian club, Rostov in the Europa League round-of-16 on Thursday and the Manager has lamented the condition of the pitch.
Recall we reported about Mourinho's complaints on the Rostov pitch (READ REPORT HERE).
The Portuguese added, “It is hard for me to believe that we are going to play on that field, if you can call it a field.
He has complained to UEFA officials, telling them that his players will find it difficult playing on the pitch and may sustain injuries in the process but they told him that “what happens to them [the players] is no problem.”
“I have a lot to think about because I was expecting something more playable. In a very similar pitch in the summer in China we decided not to play, but it looks like we have to play.
“I was analysing these very good opponents that we did not speak about yet, and in their previous matches against Bayern, Ajax, Atletico Madrid, in all these matches it looked for me a very playable pitch. I was very surprised with what I found here.
“I told one gentleman from UEFA of my concerns. He just told me the players are insured, so what happens to them is no problem.
“And I do not know what team to play, really. I do not know if Mkhitaryan is going to play. I do not know.”
