Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has revealed he does not know what team to play against FC Rostov in the UEFA Europa League last-16 first leg as he has major concerns about the state of the pitch at the Olimp-2.

The Portuguese manager also revealed the only response he got from UEFA when he voiced his worries was assurances that "the players are insured."

The Times' Paul Hirst relayed Mourinho's comments as he spoke ahead of United's clash in Russia on Thursday:

It is still hard for me to believe that we are going to play tomorrow in that field, if you can call it a field.
