Mourinho unhappy with Rostov pitch as UEFA official says 'players are insured'

"It's still hard for me to believe that we are going to play (there)," Mourinho said.

Jose Mourinho's fury at the state of the Rostov pitch was exacerbated by a UEFA official telling the Manchester United manager not to worry about injuries as his players are protected by insurance.

United made the long trip to Russia for the first leg of a Europa League last-16 clash that the Portuguese initially described as a "bad draw in every aspect".
