Manchester United have named their team to play FC Rostov.
United take on the Russian side in the last 16 Europa League tie on a pitch that’s in such poor condition Jose Mourinho said the game should be postponed.
“I know we have to, but I find it hard to believe we are going to play on that field, if you can call it a field,” Mourinho said ahead of the match.Â
“I don’t know which team to play, really. I have now a lot to think because I was expecting something more playable.”
However, the tie at the Olimp-2 Stadium will be played, and Rostov are strong at home, having lost just one of their last seven games at the stadium.
United have named a strong team for the game, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan back in the side after returning from a hamstring injury.
Here’s the team Mourinho has named:
