Man U's plans for plastic pitch
MANCHESTER UNITED manager Sir Alex Ferguson has no concerns about the artificial surface for tonight's Champions League tie against CSKA Moscow.
United last night trained on the plastic pitch at Luzhniki Stadium. Ferguson admits CSKA do have a considerable home advantage but, after doing thorough homework on the opposition, is confident that can be overcome. The Scot said: "We have analysed CSKA Moscow quite a lot in the last couple of weeks.
"It is quite an interesting combination they have – mostly experienced players in the back four and younger players in the front.
It is a true pitch and the ball will stay on the ground as long as you want to pass it there. That way you can control the speed of the game."
