Manchester United managed a 1-1 draw against Club Brugge in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie in Belgium on Thursday.
The home side took the lead inside 15mins when Emmanuel Dennis lobbed Sergio Romero. Anthony Martial raced through to beat Simon Mignolet one-on-one to make it 1-1.
After the game, United boss Ole Gunnar Solksjaer has blamed the pitch, talking about the ‘difficult conditions’ of the play. He has blamed the pitch, claiming it was almost like astroturf, while he wasn’t impressed with the ball being used in the competition.
Many United fans were not impressed with Solkjaer’s comments. Here are some of the selected tweets:
