Manchester United's unpreparedness due to the condition of players who are not in peak performance is exacerbated by the poor condition of Zorya Stadium field. At the beginning of this December, Ukraine was hit by winter so the terrain was difficult and lots of ice. This bad field condition was immediately commented on by Mourinho and Mkhitaryan to the Mirror.
Mourinho said: "The field is bad and it's too cold, the ground is hard, and there's ice, I think UEFA knows the field conditions and everyone knows that conditions in Ukraine and Eastern Europe in mid-December are very difficult, so if UEFA worries, they should change the schedule and do not let it play here in mid-December so I think it's a problem They try, they warm the field from above, but people can not make miracles, so hope it all goes well. "
While Mkhitaryan commented, "Tomorrow's game will be difficult because of the weather conditions, because it's difficult to play in such weather, but I think we will do our best."
If you look at the readiness of Manchester United squad and Zorya field conditions are in bad condition, then the most realistic result is the series and this result is not bad for Manchester United because it can forward it to the next phase in the Europa League.
Manchester United's unexpected result is Zorya defeat. This Ukrainian club has no chance of going to the next round because of being knocked out. But when MU lost, then Feyenoord as the third rank has a chance to the next round if able to defeat Fenerbahce. Their points will be 10 and United remain 9 which makes Manchester United in third place and Feyenoord runner-up.
