(Reuters) - Manchester United manager Old Gunnar Solskjaer has described the artificial surface hosting their Europa League tie away to Dutch club AZ Alkmaar as the worst he has seen.

Alkmaar have been forced to play 70 miles away at the Kyocera Stadium in The Hague after part of the roof collapsed in their own AFAS Stadium last month.
