Manchester United are facing yet another pitch 'problem' as Rostov manager Ivan Daniliants believes the state of the Olimp-2 surface will shock the Europa League favourites.

Jose Mourinho's 20-man squad made the long trip to Russia on Tuesday ahead of the first leg of their last-16 clash on Thursday evening.

The United boss called the tie a 'bad draw in every aspect' and now has concerns about the state of the pitch in Rostov to contend with.

UEFA has confirmed the home team will train at their nearby training ground rather than at the Olimp-2 in a bid to avoid unnecessary damage to a pitch that Daniliants believes will shock the visitors.
