Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea addresses concerns over FC Sheriff pitch

David de Gea insists he and his Manchester United colleagues have no concerns over the state of the pitch as they prepare to face FC Sheriff.

United head into unchartered territory when they face the Moldovan champions. The fixture is taking place in the country's capital of Chisinau rather than Sheriff's base of Transnistria. That is after UEFA made the decision that matches in their competitions should not be staged there following Russia's invasion of Ukraine earlier this year.

As such, the Europa League match will now be staged at the 10,400-capacity Zimbru Stadium. Despite some concerns over the state of the pitch, United stopper De Gea insists he and his colleagues have no worries having examined it at close quarters.
